Goodbye, Truist Bank
The bank left town on July 28th.
*****************
There's an odd man out.
Flying into HIA
The Elks on a clear day.
Peace
As the sign says
DO NOT PUSH
That flag is still out there on the duck blind.
Police activity
Sloppy work on the Walnut Street project
Why should firefighters have to put up with this?
*****************
Chairs blocking parking spaces.
(Maybe someone was moving.)
But one of the chairs migrated up to the corner.
The entrance to Columbia River Park was blocked for two days due to railroad work.
And here are the workers . . .
