Back Bay Parking

The sign from the automobile stable of the Danker and Donahue Garage floats like a dirigible into Newbury Street with the former equine stables peeking over to see what's up.

Graffiti To Go

Well-mannered historical buildings and fastidious maintenance on fashionable Newbury Street in Boston's Back Bay are no match for the raucous rolling graffiti of this sushi delivery truck.

I Hope It's Greek

Nice Greek Revival portico making its stand in the flowing sidewalk on Hope Street, Fox Point, Providence.

Dinner at Clio

At the excellent Clio in Back Bay Boston, the waiter appears to be studying which chapeaux on the poster he wants to place on his head.

Backyard Bistro

Enjoying a glass of wine in the side/back yard, illuminated by solar light sticks.

Rick's Roadhouse

Munchin' some ribs outside in the Jewelry District in Providence. The stacks are for a power plant, not the barbeque smoker.

Liberty Elm Diner

A pan-o-ramic view from the counter of the Liberty Elm Diner on Elmwood near Roger Williams Park in Providence. This diner was a Worchester model made in 1947 and resided downtown until it trundled south in 1954. Mighty fine pie.

Come Back to the Five and Dime

On the corner of Snow and Westminster, this former five-and-dime store (Kresge?Newberry?Kress?) now houses the Rhode Island State Archives. With inflation, ten cents from the 20's is now in the range of a dollar, making 99¢ stores the new Woolworths.

Satin Doll

Moving my gaze a little lower and to the right, the entrance to the the aforementioned Society for the Study of the Mobile Female Form is noted simply by a rigid granite post.
