It might be Spring time by the calendar, but not by Mother Nature!!

A sunny day!

We had a day of sun today, so I decided to grab a few shots of downtown while the weather co-operated.

It's that time of the year again!

Woke up this morning to an inch or two of snow!
This made me dig out some of my pics from January 2009 when we had 3 feet of snow in 36 hours.

The Thunderbird's are just amazing.

I would like to thank all the people involved in this great show for the people.

Thank You.

B-17 Liberty Belle

The B-17 Liberty Belle was in town a few weeks ago. I had the chance to go see it up close and got some really good shots of it.

******update******

The Liberty Belle crashed the other week on landing and was destroyed. Everyone on board made it out safely, but the plane didn't. A sad day!

Here's a link to an article about the crash.

Street names that are also Cartoon Characters!

I was out the other day and noticed that along One street (E 32nd) there is Three crossing streets that have the same names as Cartoon Characters. The first Two are really easy, but the third is a little harder...do you know where it is from?
