Did I happen to mention...
...what a beautiful day it is today?
As evidence--
Had to go to the bank at lunch and brought the camera along just for grins.
Interesting shot--the building on the left has been restored, the one in the middle is being restored, and the one on the right is a new building built where the old Peerless Saloon once stood.
Not all get such treatment--this is the old Pizitz Department Store building which sits catercorner across from the other buildings, and directly across from the spiffy McWane Center. Every few months there's another press release about it being put back online as condos or lofts or offices, but for the past many years it has looked just like this. I joke to people who don't know any better that it's the Communist Party headquarters. For some reason several years back someone came in and put bright red flags all around the old flagpoles on the building. They've stayed there ever since, getting more torn up with each passing day.
Poor old thing.
