Best Pizza

About this time of the year five years ago I made my first trip to NYC. I was working in Albany on an assignment and my nephew Ashley came from KY. for a visit. We decided to go to the "City" as the people in Albany referred to it. Ashley had done some research on pizza places and found Lombardi's. It was establised in 1905 and the original coal fired pizza oven is still being used.
If you ever make it to NYC, stop by Lombardi's on Spring St. and have one of their pizzas. It is the best!

I wish they delivered.

First Snow ?

So, do you think this is the first snow of NE this season?

Not yet. This was actually taken near my Ky. home in Lex.
in Feb. of 2006. It was a wet snow that melted off later that day.

The Old State House, Boston

State and Washington Streets
On July 18, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was proclaimed from the balcony of this building to a jubilant crowd.
In 1761, a full fifteen years before the Declaration of Independence was proclaimed, James Otis delivered a rousing speech against the Writs of Assistance here in this building. The Writs of Assistance refer to the King's ability to issue search warrants without providing any reason.
Otis argued that, "A man's house is his castle" and that, "Every one with this writ may be a tyrant." After watching James Otis deliver his speech, John Adams, who would later become the second president of the United States, declared, "... then and there the child Independence was born."

An Autumn Evening

The "Cats" and the "Birds"

New Neighbor

This is why it's called "fall"

When I walked out this morning to go to work, this is what I saw. Instead of brushing off snow, I brushed off leaves. Well, I parked in a different place this evening.

Signage

Here in the great state of Mass. road confusion the signs read a little different than those in most other places.

For example:

"Thickly Settled" in translation means "Congested Area" back home.

So, "Squeeze Left" must mean "Merge Left".

Stay tuned for more of these great signs.
