I see a "CLEANERS" sign in the strip mall where Chicken Magician is now. So if your chicken has a hint of perc, you know why.

I also see something else interesting. It's hard to read, but I think that's an old Frosty Maid ice cream truck! I can't find a single image in Google Images of one of these trucks.

Wow! Double value!

Seller's description:

Hackensack Anderson Street Railroad Station photographed in 1962.  Since the station burnt down last year this would be a good record of it for historical or modeling purposes.


This one's an 8x10.

Of course, this is the Passaic St crossing. I notified the seller, so maybe he'll change it by the time you read this.

Seller says it's from the 1800s.

Maybe, maybe not.

I decided to go out for a stroll in the snow storm at around 11:30 this morning and take pictures before the more-blizzardy aspect arrived this afternoon.

I had to set the cell for smaller pictures because I took a lot of them and the memory isn't great.

Everything looks different in the snow, including:


bicycles







kitchen appliances







garbage







playgrounds







?







trees (it wasn't windy - that's how it looks)







the park fountain across the street







circular electrical wires







religious statues







someone's scarf







Holy Trinity Van Lines

As I was walking out of the post office today, I saw this street light taking a siesta across Central Avenue.

I asked a cop who was directing traffic what happened. He didn't know - he had just been called there.

Anyone care to enLIGHTen me?
