About Town

Some recent photos from around town . . .


 Clever pun, abused apostrophe

 Freewheelin' three-wheelin'

 Birds of a feather hanging together
(The one on the far right appears to be the instigator.)

 Reconfiguring

 Fridays 4-8, Saturdays 10-3, Sundays 10-3 

 Common merganser at River Park

 Eluding the paparazzi!

 Sidewalk seats available

 Goodies from The Flour Child

Gull Gang hangin'

 Takin' turf

 Fencing - or tobacco lath?

 Gull-spangled river

 Signs of an underground railroad?

Someone was playing the numbers.

 Invasion of the yellow pages

 ADA Accesible Pier

 Broken!
(Upper right)

 There's the bunny, so Easter must be right around the corner, which in this case would be Walnut Street.

 Figurines

 Elvis once did something similar to a TV when Robert Goulet was on.
That story is HERE.
Springsteen alludes to it HERE (at 1:32).


 A ton of tundras

 Well, not really.

 The average tundra swan weighs about 14 pounds, so it would it take about 143 to make a ton.

 Imprisoned without trial: a preview of Trump's America - or Hillary's. 
What the heck, we're there already. 
File a writ of habeas cattus!

 Finishing touches at 401 Locust

 Offspring of the infamous Japanese reptile whose relatives call him "Godz" for short...

 Yellow ribbons on Cherry

Violation! 
The photo doesn't show the many empty parking spaces to the right.

 It's OK if you like that one show on that one station.

SS Minnow refurbished?

Holy Trinity thanks fastnacht supporters

Holy Trinity thanks those who supported the 92nd Annual Fastnacht Bake.



They're back - the flies and the smell


A source has informed Columbia Spy that flies (and a pungent malodor) are already present around the piles of chicken manure recently dumped near the intersection of Twelfth and Franklin Streets at McGinness Field.

Two years ago, similar conditions at McGinness Field led to a massive fly infestation and a widespread foul odor.

MORE information can be found HERE.
