Whatever the problem is under Union St by Passaic St, it doesn't seem to be getting resolved.

Two more openings were made in the road today. What next?


1. The first of two openings

2, 3.  This one was deep enough to require wall shoring.

4. It took a few pulls to get this started.

5. The Sprinkling of the Holy Water of St. Asphalt

6.  On to Hole #2

7. Two fresh scars for Union St

I thought it was gonna say, "Wish you were here".

1. Tower's all unsmudged as of early this morning (before I got up).

2. Here's a look at the old and new Sears as it looks today. As prison-like as it may look from the back, this is a definite upgrade. I thought the old building looked just fine, but it really looks like crap next to the new part.

Lots of stuff going on at Sears today.

I stopped by when I was out this morning and asked about the smudgy painting of the letters on the west side of the tower. A worker said that they paint the wall, then the letters and then repaint around the letters. He also said that his company has done lots of these types of jobs for K-Mart, so I guess we know who's in charge there. Maybe they should be asked about the flag problems.

The work on the tower's south (Anderson St) side went from start to finish: blast the wall, paint it, add the messy blue letter painting, then repaint over the "outside the lines" stuff, which is pretty much the picture sequence below. The Main St side remains smudgy.

I think the interesting shot is the third from the last where both sides are smudgy. It's just something you don't ever expect to see from Sears. In the last shot, the painter appears to be admiring his handiwork.

Here's what caught my eye this morning. I liked most of these cars except for the Willys, which was kinda ugly, and the Caddy with the added dual exhausts, which look stupid - especially since dual exhausts were built into the car just below the taillights. And the dog had no seat belt.

Entrants were still arriving (see last photo) when I left. Despite the presence of kettle corn, Larry the Cable Guy was nowhere to be seen.

Masking tape?

It looks like they forgot that minor detail.

 1. Dried window glop

 2. Flag shadow on hands/family

 3. Getting a new window (or is it a picture frame?)

 4. Tiger sky

 5. Goodbye green house on Green Street

 6. HPD/HFD bayoneted rifle and fire axe (not visible) at funeral

 7. Sunset w/crosses on steeple at Passaic and Summit  on right

 8. E lot Koi pond?

 9. BCPD blue effect

10. Balloon says it all
