There’s a River in My Future

The title shouldn’t surprise anyone. Back in 2013, I wrote my first post about how rivers are special to me. I spied a couple of familiar names in the short list of likes, but I also spied three subsequent posts where I linked to it. Today makes four. And, while the three rivers in Pittsburgh...

Thursday Doors – Town-ish Doors

Summer activity is in full swing around here, which is putting a crimp on doorscurrsions and, to a lesser degree, time for writing. I had a plan for this week’s Monday post and Thursday Doors. When Monday’s post went off the rails, it took Thursday with it. I think they call that collateral damage. In... Continue Reading →

Five Years – Still No Facilities

I don’t usually post on Sunday. I don’t usually post more than four times a week. I don’t usually write short posts. Today is different. No Facilities is five years old today. Ready for Kindergarten I guess. I always thought that, if I made it to five years, I’d look back and explain how I... Continue Reading →

This Old Bike

I spent less than three years on a motorcycle. On the other hand, I have been riding a... Continue Reading →

The building was abandoned in 1989 by the company whose name it still bears, and has passed through a series of questionable hands since then.... Continue Reading →

Thursday Doors – Dexter

Last week, I featured a collection of decaying properties. Today I'm featuring doors and photos of a historic building in my town that barely escaped being torn down. The building survived, along with the legacy of one of the founding families in Connecticut, but a once proud company was dismantled by something far more destructive... Continue Reading →

Charles Dickens’ Other Mystery

Earlier this week, I was part of a small group of businessmen meeting with a professor from one of our State Universities. We will be serving as mentors in one of his classes this semester. After the meeting was over, a few of us remained to discuss ways we could help the professor in a... Continue Reading →

Introducing the Windsor Locks Canal

As I mentioned Tuesday, this post is a little bit of an exercise for me. I don’t normally work with a lot of photos in one post, and I don’t think I’ve ever tried to describe a “destination” before. I’m not sure that The Windsor Locks Canal is much of a destination; I mean I... Continue Reading →
