Chams Lebanese Cuisine.  I liked the way the building was being lit by the street lamp.

Haunted Parkersburg

We went to Parkersburg last weekend to do the Haunted Parkersburg tour that's hosted by author, Susan Sheppard.  It was pretty entertaining.  We were in a big group and we made several stops so Susan could tell stories of ghosts around the area.  At the bottom of the Quincy Hill stairs we stopped to listen to the story of the Quincy Hill water tank disaster when this young lady sidled into our group.  She was humming, Rock a Bye Baby.  Interesting.

If you click on the water tank disaster link, you'll see the house that's directly behind her in a couple of the photos.

Roger's Spider

Highway Safety

I took this last Sunday walking back from the bridge.  It's another one that reminds me of a Pete Turner photo, where the colors are the subject.

Lee Street

Sound Board

The sound board in kid's church.  Talk about a random picture, but I like it anyway.

Nitro firefighters go to work Saturday afternoon at a structure fire on Elm St.

A couple of shots from last month that I liked but forgot to post.

314 Days...

...'til the bridge is finished, hopefully.  They're taking the concrete deck out now, then they'll start taking down the steel.

Honey Locust

My friend Frank bought a honey locust for his back yard and we planted it yesterday.  He and Molly and I went to pick it up and luckily for us they loaded it into the back of the truck with a fork lift.  We didn't realize how heavy a 12 foot tree and it's root ball could be.  Frank recruited a couple other people to help get it around the house and up the hill to the hole.  Actually, getting it up the hill was the easiest part, but still, "that dern thing was heavy, hard to carry too."  (slingblade).

The Terminal Building

I took this in June during Festivall and forgot to post it.  It's the terminal building at the corner of Kanawha Blvd. and Capitol St.
