MayDay

From yesterday.

As I posted on their feed, they could make a good chunk of change selling prints of that awesome photo.

Thank you, still working on getting my husband to stop on the Innerbelt (regardless of rush hour traffic) so I can get some crisper photos 😆 Since so many people have drones, I'm thinking maybe I should get a jetpack and zip around downtown? 😉

I've only been through there a few times and that was many years ago, you could tell at one point it was a charming place. Certainly hope the building can be saved and spot on - you can't demolish your way to prosperity. That said, this story is being played out in so many communities in eastern Appalachian Ohio, including my hometown. Sure there are some efforts being made but without an influx of population, it's hard to see how there will ever be demand that would result in repopulating these once prosperous areas to anywhere near what they used to be. The good paying blue collar jobs are long gone, the families who owned the properties like this building have no interest in maintaining them, etc. We're talking about areas like Columbiana County where the two regional hospitals closed their OB/GYN units - my home county no longer has a birth rate. 😳 The political climate that's hostile to a wide variety of folks (myself included) doesn't help either. That said, please keep us updated - hopefully there will be a positive outcome.

Fwiw (and slightly off topic), it makes for a great wedding venue - speaking from personal experience 🙂 Plus my husband and I were the first same-sex couple that our judge married 👍 Back on topic!

Why not, it’s Friday 👍

The peak is peeking out.

If you recall the scene, where the gloved hand was extended to be elegantly guided out of the car … this is actual footage of me in a past life. 😁

En route from the Antiques Roadshow taping at Stan Hywet in Akron. Once again, my husband wouldn’t stop in the middle of the highway during rush hour but what can you do? 🤷‍♂️

Gimmicky, yes - but I think Marie would approve 😃

Distance photo from Schaff Road, pretty hazy today.

Thank you @Boomerang_Brianfor coordinating the meetup and great choice of venue! Glad to see some new people along with some forum long-timers, hope everyone had a great time.

Okay we have moved to the private room!

Okay folks, I have a table in the main bar area. If we get a crowd they said we can head over to the tap room.
