About Town

Some recent shots around town . . .

Do you feel lucky?

Walkway to the trail

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.)
