Nice moniker

I spotted this boat out of Onondaga Lake on a recent break walk from my workplace at the library. The form and the name both caught my eye.

Looking good, Liverpool

They did not waste much time getting the holiday lights up in the blocks surrounding my library workplace. Tulip Street and First Street are all decked out with festive signs coupled with light arrays. I like the way they contrast with the sky as I take my walk during morning or afternoon break. Hover over…

Nichols Knows It’s Time

The folks at Nichols are ready with a display come every season. The Thanksgiving twist may be a bit, well, self-involved? I’ll give it to ‘em. They work hard to make their stretch of Second Street look good. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

They looked in good form, really

I stepped out from buying my second cup of coffee from Nichols, striding back to the library from my short morning break, when I saw the runners approaching up Second Street. By the time I fished my iPhone 6s out of my pocket, they’d apparently reached their personal finish line. Don’t you think those orange…

I refuse to take the bait except for with my iPhone 6s

I rather enjoy what I spot on the 15-minute break walks from my workplace at the library. Indeed, you can get live bait 24 hours a day in the Village of Liverpool. No, the blocks of First Street do not include a true bait shop. Instead, the worms turn from a soda-like dispenser. It’s at…

A flower shop with a name that fits

I think: Who doesn’t want to add pretty flowers to their lawns! And I D(I)G the appropriate business chosen by the person with…

Hanging in there

I stick my head out the First Street door of the library and take a look across the road. Johnson Park doesn’t want to give way to what’s ahead. Just saying.

Early morning, Village of Liverpool seems happy

The sun is rising later and later as we move into November. So I left a little earlier than usual for my job at the library to poke around for some early morning sights in the Village of Liverpool. In fact, the street lights along First Street had yet to extinguish themselves. The sun had…

BW Challenge, Village of Liverpool

Thank you, Christopher Malone, for including my name on your list of folks requested to show the world some black-and-white photography. I started out yesterday with a picture of my garbage and bins at A Bitter Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. Today we venture to the Village of Liverpool, to the little street…
