What I saw recently

Some recent odds and ends from around town . . . 

 Civil War figurines at Fifth and Cherry

 Open window and nobody home on Second Street

 Abandoned Big Chiller cups on the steps of the old United Telephone building

More leftover containers - this time at River Park.  

Interestingly enough, there's a trash can right at the top of the steps (seen in this photo).

Maybe the former owners of these cans didn't want to throw away the metal, and this is their idea of recycling.

 Back in the 60s, this was the Hi-fi Record Shop.

 A recently painted hydrant at the bottom of Fifth Street

Two guys working atop a train car

Shadows and reflections

 Baby snake smashed flat

 Sludge down by the shore.  

Anyone still think the Susquehanna is not a sick river?

 What I thought was the mouldering pelvic bone of a hobbit turned out to be some sort of plant structure that someone tore out.

 Chalk outline at a murder scene?

But the victim must have disappeared before the outline was completed.

 No way this will pass a code inspection.  Pictured are steps leading from the sidewalk to a basement on Walnut Street.  They're covered by a piece of corrugated metal roofing (the white area on the upper left).  There's also an old piece of wood along the side (upper right) as well as some plastic sheeting.  Maybe the residents are having a problem with rainwater seeping into their basement, but this is not the proper way to fix it.

QRS has moved.
