a walk in the neighborhood

Update1: Fuck! Something happened. An entire gallery got published. Wow. That is totally awesomely whammydine. R thinks it sucks to make it easy to put your shit on the Web. This bitch thinks it makes life so much simpler so time can be spent on other things. Or, rather, so I can feel like I should be accomplishing more and more and more and not being able to keep up! :)
But how do I caption the suckers. Hmmm?
I’ll be baaaaaaaaaack!
Update 2: Well, I found the place to caption photos. Awesome 2.0! Now to figure out where the settings are to turn off the ridiculous centering on the captions.
So these are photos from a walk we took to go see to a church bazaar about 5 blocks away. It was called a flower festival and when I looked inside the church, it was just filled with tons of flowers. I don’t know much about Catholic traditions, but they were celebrating All Saint’s day — or getting ready to with all kinds of events including a bazaar, a chorus, a concert, a costume parade for kiddies, etc.
I wanted to go because I could use some new pot holders and where better to find such things than at a church bazaar. No such luck!
So, valhalla! my boring photos.
-
- This beat up house is a real fixer upper. I saw that a condo was for sale there but it was clear that it was a real fixer upper and, from what I read of it, I'm not sure the foundation is solid. In other words, I got the impression that it wasn't just cosmetics. It would need some major work. But I love the house for some reason. Ah well.
-
- I wanted to get a shot as we walked away from the entrance to the townhome community where we live.
-
- Getting bored yet? :)
-
- Just snapping photos, cause I can, and because I want to send my mom and sisters photos of the neighborhood.
-
- Honestly, I have no idea why I shot this photo
-
- A lot of the places in the area were once apartment complexes, built between 1880 and 1920 when the neighborhood was established as a suburb of the city. A trolly was built for commuters to commute in a mile or two each way, and tons of housing was put up for single men and young families of the men who worked in the downtown businesses.
-
- I couldn't remember why I took this picture, other than it was an interesting style of a house. It had this super long front on a corner lot IIRC.
-
- Hopefully, it will be in a bingo hall or some crap. Sitting around with other older women, eating lunch and helping raise money for some outfit, watching little kids parade around in halloween costumes.
-
- R told me that they are giving away cars like this, as long as you drive it around and advertise the company. This looks more like a car belonging to a person who owns the company. It was parked at a house across the street from the Catholic Church where they were having a Flower Festival in honor of All Saint's Day on the first of November.
-
- Hee. This is an OBX sticker, which are ubiquitous around here. I had to have one and I had to look hard to find an official place selling them. I got it while waiting for the ferry to go to Ocracoke. R just rolled his eyes because he happens to think it is evil to do things that other people do.

- To the left, Devil Dawg

- Super Pooch to the Rescue!

- What tree is this?
-
- Too cute
I have not figured out how to add photos to the gallery once published. But I wanted to post this one photo, in case anyone knew what kind of tree it is.
Update 3: HA! apparently I DID figure it out. What I did, I do not know though. So, next time I screw up and forget to add all the photos, i still won’t know how to fix it until I stumble over the answer, like I did this time. what a freakin’ dumb ass.
What tree is this?
And last but not least, wabbit! I asked her to turn around for me, and she promptly spun a pirouet. I laughed and her grandma helped her out:
Too cute
