Morning Commute

 

Bump-outs

 

 

 

One of the results of the pandemic is a desire on the part of some businesses to make more-or-less permanent the outdoor dining that became popular. Here, for instance, is part of the transformation beginning to take place. Officials are calling it a "bump-out".

 

 

 

What do you think? Would you prefer outdoors or indoors?

 

Coffee Shop

 

There appears to be another coffee shop opening soon near me but with a twist.

Waterfront

 

Just a last couple of shots of the Yorktown waterfront showing the Coleman Bridge above and the statues representing an imagined conversation between Gen. George Washington, Adm. Francois Joseph Paul, the Marquis de Lafayette, and Comte de Grasse.

Retention Pond

 

A bit of explanation probably called for here.

Several of the stormwater retention ponds near me have been neglected for quite a while.

As a result, they've been allowed to become overgrown to the point that the roots of trees have begun to interfere with their drainage systems.

Hence, the excavator.

Restoration

 

You may remember when I posted about the Bray School being relocated to its new site in Colonial Williamsburg. Well, now that it's in place, it's restoration is underway.

CNU

 

Yesterday found me on my way over to the Peebles Theater on the Christopher Newport University's (CNU)  Newport News campus to attend the senior recital of a very talented friend.

A colonial era sport utility vehicle. :-)

Seeing this was like stepping into a movie set in the 1930s.
