Cleaning Out the Fridge – #ThursdayDoors

Since last week’s Thursday Doors post went live, I have spent five days on our little construction project and two hectic days at my day-job. I did manage to squeeze in a short doorscursion, but it turns out the doors I photographed are more interesting than I realized. Writing that up has required a little research, but I think it will prove to be worth the effort (and the wait). So, as the title implies, I opened a few old folders, looking for interesting doors that never made it to the gallery.

If you want more from your Thursday Doors experience, consider joining the fun. You can bring a door, a bunch of doors, a description of a door, a poem in honor of a door, a painting of a door, or you can substitute gates, openings and portals. I shouldn’t say that – I don’t make the rules. I have seen all of those things before, but Norm Frampton is the arbiter of what is considered a door. So, if you want to join us, visit Norm’s page. Check out his doors, and then click the blue frog. That little tadpole will send you into the grand gallery of everybody’s doors.

I’ve explained the doors in the captions. If you want to read the full caption, click on any door to start a slide show.

I took this on the way back to my hotel after a quick walk around St. Augustine. I like the exposed stone.

Also from St. Augustine, FL. This is one busy little entrance. It’s an art gallery, so eclectic works.

From a quick walk around San Antonio. I like the landscaping.

Again, from San Antonio. I think it’s medical or first aid, but it’s the after-hours entrance.

The tobacco has been picked. If you look closely, you can see it hanging. The ventilation slats are open to help it dry.

I know it’s not a door, but I included it for Cheryl.

Look up! Each bay in the ceiling of this outdoor walkway outside our meeting rooms, has two access doors.

From Hartford, The Wadsworth Atheneum – Founded in 1842 and opened in 1844, it is the oldest continually operating public art museum in the United States.

The patio of the hotel room I was in during our Annual Meeting in Ft. Myers, FL. I took a few pictures of the sunset over the Gulf, and that was the only time I had to spend out here.

Pittsburgh Police River Patrol. It’s located right under the Roberto Clemente Bridget (6th St.). The picture was taken from the Gateway Clipper after watching the Pirates play at PNC Park.

I did a post from the PA Trolley Museum, but I have lots of trolley doors on a shelf in the fridge.

This is where I picked up a San Antonio tee shirt and my River Barge Tickets.

We were on our way to Pittsburgh, and Faith was driving.

This is the maintenance barn at the cemetery where my parents are interred.

I did a post from the PA Trolley Museum, but I have lots of trolley doors on a shelf in the fridge.

OK, the door is to a staircase to the tunnel under the tracks, but this is my FAVORITE locomotive!

34th and 7th Avenue – Yep, that’s the Macy’s mother ship.

Inside the Javits center – I love this building.

I think this is the schoolhouse at Old Sturbridge village, Taken during our annual winter visit.
