Walk up Warren St. to 7th. Ran into Gail Peachin again outside her store.

Corner 1st and Warren - Forman House

Corner 1st and Warren – Forman House

After breakfast, a walk up Allen – Union, then back down Warren. ~ 2.5 miles.

Walked on the even (North) side of Union St. Had not noticed how large this yellow brick house is. And a bit further up the street, a house that we looked at when we shopping for one in 2009, has a pitch of more than a foot bottom to top. Always though that it was just the porch that is sagging.

Seen in Hudson

For quite a while I have been enjoying the store front windows at 243 Warren St. A mysterious person has been changing the displays in these windows in response to the world outside them. Last night as Karen and I were walking home, I noticed that the windows had changed again. This time to blank white illuminated by the ever present two white lights. So, I walked across the street to take a picture. As I approached, a man walking his dog came up to the door of 243. I asked, “Are you responsible for the windows?” “Yes” came the response. So here I was, in a serendipity of the local, meeting the person responsible for these simple little statements about passing events. ( I hesitate to give his name. Perhaps he will give permission.) 

Turns out that what I thought to be blank is in fact his comment on the day as the tenth anniversary of 9/11.

Below in reverse chronological order are the pictures I have snapped over the past year of his commentary.
