About Town

Some recent shots around town . . .


 Rude crude protrude

 Do you feel lucky?

 Clouds in Hellam after yesterday's rain.

Hoverboards are fine as long as they abide by the speed limit, seen upper right.

A few minutes later on Mill Street

Are we SURE those traffic lights are synced?

A car got "stuck" on the tracks near River Park yesterday, due the traffic signals turning red while it was exiting. (The car can be seen just above the road level, in the above photo.)  A precarious place to be, especially when a train is coming. (Luckily, one wasn't.)

Ironically: this sign.

Backing, backing, backing up

This happens quite often at Musser's Market in the Columbia Plaza. Drivers usually need several tries before they can get lined up with the delivery area, blocking Tenth and Barber Streets in the process. Some drivers back in from Barber, some from Tenth.
