Day 365 - Coming Full Circle / June 30, 2015 by AE Stagge

It's over! I can't say I'm sad as it has been a challenge, but it was one I was determined to finish.

The photo above was taken a few weeks ago on a nice sunny Saturday evening. It is fun to compare to the photo from Day 0 (on the right margin) - what a difference. To be fair that Day 0 photo was not taken at the start of this project. It was taken a few years ago, but the building sat for so long, I believe it looked pretty similar to that when I started this project. Construction is still not finished, but will be in the coming months. They say it will fully occupied next year.

I'll post a wrap up with some final thoughts soon. I want to take a chance to review the year and assess the project as a whole.

Best to all,

Nice community; I've enjoyed living here.

Day 363 - Memories / June 28, 2015 by AE Stagge

Not too many of these left in this time of big chains of, well everything. Growing up we had one in Kenwood. The Pony Keg. It's a parking lot now. I remember the layout of the store and talking with the owner Jim. He was a nice guy. Too many years ago to count.

Day 354 - Hungry For A Big Steak / June 19, 2015 by AE Stagge

Some folks may think this is in Montgomery, but the maps show Sycamore Township.

Day 353 - Rail Yard / June 18, 2015 by AE Stagge

That's what a nearby bar was called.

I used to think train tracks were straight.

Day 352 - It's Like Wearing A Business Suit, For Your Car / June 17, 2015 by AE Stagge

But you only wear it if you're in business, I hope.

Day 351 - Run Forest Run / June 16, 2015 by AE Stagge

Motivation on a high level.

I woke up this day to kids banging drums and other noisemakers. They were cheering on the participants of a walk/run/stoll that came through the neighborhood. I'll join this next time.

Maybe.
