Catnip liquor?
I find it amusing that after McCleary's pharmacy/liquor store closed, the liquor service portion quickly regained, but we had to wait several years before a new pharmacy opened.
You are here
Sept. 15, 2013, Rainbow Park.
Rainbow Park was constructed in the early 1980s on a piece of land that once was the northeast corner of Henry McCleary's mill. McCleary's tallest resident, Cecil "Primo" Boling, 1920-2000 (7 ft. 8 in. before his lower legs were amputated), was a resident there in his final years.
At one point in the 1990s the city allowed the residents of Rainbow Park to have a large fenced vegetable garden in the area where there is now a big gravel circle in Beerbower Park. The garden project was a short-lived concept.

Fur Envy
Sept. 10, 2011. For awhile the sign from the previous business remained up there, giving the impression pets really received human-type hair treatment.
The artist who created the window sign did a great job.

Back end
Sept. 10, 2011. The back end of one of those deals where your head is made to look it belongs to whatever is painted on the other side.

Life and death
Aug. 30, 2012.
I really dislike the herbicide known as Roundup. It kills the plants of neighbors too. I've lost plants on both sides of my yard due to the spreading nature of this chemical poison. It is also bad for cats and other animals, including humans.
