Sad Start to the New Year

This was no way to start the New Year. The Inn on the Cove, a great local business, and a wonderful historic site, was destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon.  I had been by the site just hours before after a walk in the Irving Nature Park.  The location and the surrounding area has always been a perfect site for outdoor activities, and the owners have been gracious and welcoming Westsiders.   Here's hoping the owners will rebuild and continue their excellent contribution to the West Side.

Moosehead changes

Kind of sad to see the Moosehead Store empty; it was a nice addition to the "Main Street" feel. Yet it's encouraging to see the expansion at the brewery next door.

Balmy westside weather

There's stuff growing at my place.

High Tide?

Those darn kids .... fooling around at the Irving Nature Park. You can see this from the entrance by the flagpoles.
