The back of our house faces easterly, the late afternoon light at some points in the year is just wonderful.

Faded signs and fresh, light paint downtown.

Many things to see today as I visited the newsroom of the Times-Courier in Ellijay and then headed to the movies with the Mrs.

Some downtown locations are stable, some are not, some never will be.

A good visit, learned a lot, could have stayed longer to explore how the city is rebuilding itself, much like it’s news source.

A road trip to Birmingham, early on the road so I took the high way through the hills around Talladega.

The Mrs. headed west to surprise a friend at her college graduation this past weekend. Her flight home was delayed a bit, so I had some time to kill. Rain, mist, fog, closed stores and barbed wire fences.
