Waiting for the snow

This snowman on Chestnut Street is likely to have a few friends if we get the snow that’s forecast for this week.

Up on the rooftop

This great blue heron was haunting the rooftops and chimneys on Chestnut Street on Saturday afternoon.

What happened at the Lazy K?

This afternoon several State Police officers loaded cases of beer onto a truck outside the Lazy K Lounge (as it was formerly known).

Was it a raid?

According to a Facebook page for PJ’s Lounge, this bar went out of business last year:

Go HERE.

(Unconfirmed reports suggest that a “speakeasy” was operating there.)

Can't wait for that bypass to be built

Seemingly lost, these drivers drove their big rigs across Third Street this afternoon after barely making the turn from Cherry Street.

I took this pic today, when the temperatures were more, well, temperate. It must have been all of 25° out.
But try taking pics on a single-digit day, and you’ll find that the term “bone-chilling” is not just metaphorical. After a few minutes, your finger bones – phalanges, as they’re known – actually become chilled (or at least that’s how it feels), due to the exceedingly thin layers of skin, fat, and muscle covering them.

Benched!

I haven’t seen this done in a while. It’s illegal, but I understand the motivation to do it. After shoveling out a parking space, you don’t want to just give it away. On the other hand, how can you justify keeping the space unavailable the whole time you’re not there?
