St Laurentius Final Days

It's not piratical

The Historical Commission will decided the fate of the Church by August 14th. They will decide either for its' complete demolition or delay the inevitable once again. The church is a victim of no viable options that an investor would want to take on. That was a missed opportunity when it first came from the owner who wanted to save the building. That's six critical years of repair work that lost attention. (Sunday, April 6, 2014)
The in-depth story recently published by the Philadelphia Inquirer: Philadelphia urges demolition of St. Laurentius Church, but an architectural committee is unpersuaded.

We will see, from many angles, a change in the neighborhood's skyline we once knew. The new will overcome.

Shaping Nature

The covid-19 sky

Even covid-19 seems to have little notice for the beautiful blue skies that appear day after day after day. It's certainly not in America's quality of life discussion.

....gave proof through the night....

...that our flag was still there


O say, does that star spangled banner yet wave
O're the land of the free and the home of the brave?

YES!

..in Order to form a more perfect union..




 ..gave proof through the night..
 ...that our flag was still there..

I Took My Camera For A Walk

May 7, 2020

March 11 was the last time I took a long walk. This time it was balancing wisdom and courage, the want to get outside and being more lucky than smart. My battered body was in fine shape. There were a few people now and then walking about and respectful distancing, nothing awkward, when passing. It's the clear sky that appears more so on a daily bases. Koyaanisqatsi....life out of balance.
Fishtown shares a similar quality due to the changes of the landscape and the memories. You might not recognize the place if you been away for a few years or if you lived here all your life. This is where the "more lucky than smart" part comes about.
I bought my smokes at the gas station on Girard Ave. Some nice folks there. Had my pocket camera, nothing unusual and there was the Cityscape. Let me approach it again. There was Fishtown.

 The Forgotten Man Memorial were someone took the heart

 The Merritt House
It'll still be there




 Monet moment




 Memories become stronger






Checking up on some friends

Another memory
 Smile
I took a few shots at the cemetery and went home.
