October 5 – fixing technical difficulties
This was posted for about 15 seconds on October 5, then vanished. (I know how it vanished, but I don’t want to admit to what happened; it was 100% operator error.) I was traveling and didn’t have a way to re-post until tonight.
Back in the day, I used to be a calligrapher. So you can understand my excitement at noticing how the L and the second E line up exactly with the uprights of the sign. Well done, sign-painter.
Also – check out that cool old gin in the background….

October 6
I can’t explain one thing in this shot, except maybe the sidewalk.
Left to right:
1. The Pink Panther? Apparently, the folks here are on a first name basis, and just call him Pink.
2. A light-colored brick building that looks much newer than the ones on either side. An attic full of bundled copies of Collector’s Weekly. An awning frame collapsed down with heavy wire mesh bolted to it to keep the bundles from landing on the sidewalk.
3. A pile of bricks in front of a long-boarded-up window. And a shiny aluminum door frame.
