In the Neighborhood ...
Whether it's taking Walker Evans for his daily stroll or Val and I going to a friend's house or on an errand to Elmwood Avenue or elsewhere, you'll always find something to smile at or shake your head over walking in our Elmwood Village neighborhood.
Today, it was Walker Evans and I enjoying ourselves on our walk (Val is having some MS concerns); first, as we came to Norwood and Lexington, a man around age 50-55 went 1-for-3 driving his black SUV at the intersection. At least he stopped; he turned left onto Norwood Avenue without using a turning signal or hand sign, and as he made the turn, he tossed half a lit cigarette out the window.
The next block, at the corner of Norwood and Highland, featured a part funny, part almost sad sight. A "Season's Greetings" sign remains in the front-door window of a house more than two months past due. Santa Claus' coat and hat are now basically dark pink, the lettering is getting light and the white snow background is now a lovely shade of gray.
Walker Evans noticed none of these things; with so many other dogs out, he was having a great time meeting, greeting and sniffing the other canines.

That Santa sign is actually from the Xmas before this one- aka Christmas 2006. It was up all last year and as it got to be December (2007) I thought,"well at least it is seasonal again."
There is a house in the neighborhood that still (march 5, 2008) has a white christmas tree with lights on in the window- I kid you not!!
