Online Auctions/Local Images (Moderated by BLeafe) / Labor Day Local Photo Tour - Part 1 of 4
« on: September 06, 2010, 03:22:10 PM »
This is my kind of labor - a beautiful morning to take a walk with my cell cam and see what I can see.

I took a lot of photos and edited them down to 40, so I'm gonna have to make 4 posts of 10 images each (the maximum allowed per post).

I started at Main and E. Ward St and walked south to the courthouse, east on Court St, and north on River with a couple of slight detours.

Part 1 is all Main St:

Hackensack Discussion / Six pix of the nabe
« on: August 27, 2010, 06:26:06 PM »
Today was just a real nice day to walk around and record the neighborhood, so here are a half-dozen things that caught my eye:


1. Stick to your diet sign?
2. The last Magician sign (back of building)
3. This billboard was near #1 and #2 (uh oh)
4. I could read what the first layer on the green said: "Green Guard".........duh!
5. Why half-staff?
6. An interesting look right in the midst of the Anderson St stores

Description:

Badge is 2 1/4" by 2 1/4". Metal has turned color with age.



I didn't realize that the title "truant officer" got an upgrade............too much "Little Rascals", I guess.

The name on the badge is Edmond Ames. Any of you truants ever get nabbed by Mr. Ames?
