Photorama: Wilkes-Barre 2010 - Four Months Late but Still Gorgeous

It has been long enough since I gave your eyeballs a bit of a rest with the pretty colors and absence of sesquipedalia, so maybe it’s time to resort again to the photo files.  These were taken in August on a family vacation.  We had a great time and this is not representative of all that, though you may notice some great times amidst the margins.  That’s where I keep ‘em, you know.

In the lovely old house where we stayed, this is how they get the electrical lights to work - note, particularly, the awesome textured wallpaper:

Outside the house, the texturing also extends to the paint job:

Finally, here’s a better example of how wonderful the place is - a doorknob that gleams with welcome:

At the good neighborhood pizza place - not the best place but the best in the ‘hood - we find this provocative advertisement:

At the local century-old brewery, the lion that never sleeps or gets repainted:

Inside the brewery, this is a stick for measuring… something:

At the local burned-out warehouse that I visited one early morning for a photo session - a few glamor shots:

Finally, at the big family reunion party, here’s li’l Jesse taking a slide down the grassy knoll:

That’s all for now - Zach wants the computer to play some games.  I’ve got more photos and essays all stacked up for you, so watch your back!
