Clarkson Beauty

111 Clarkson 

I am pretty sure I have mentioned this building before.  It is an old beauty that is slowly falling apart.  Today, while walking around, I grabbed a couple more photos.  It really makes a difference what time of year you take photos.  Not only does the lighting differ, but also the foliage and growth around the houses (or lack of) impact what you actually see of the subject. 

So I did take (again) a couple of pics of this house and a close-up of what was once a very nice stained glass window that is ccurrently in desperate need of help.  You can see there is some wire placed over the window to protect it.  Higher resolution on my flickr account.

New Grocery Store Site

Monday, April 30th, 2007

This is the site of the new grocery store that was mentioned sometime last week.

It is large, I grant you that.  I didn’t notice any parking area as yet.  Most of the larger store have some parking available, such as Super Stop & Shop.

It will be interesting to see what it turns into.  Met was mentioned as the merchant for this Clarson & Bedford building. I have shopped the Met on Vanderbilt at the suggestion of one of my neighbors, who said it received some notice for cleanliness. It was okay — Vanderbilt is not bad for parking during the week.
