Boston got swept with the Bronx Broom, for sure!
My condolences to all of the Stacys, Beldans, Dickinsons and McCarrahers!
Perhaps it's time to say, "Tennis, Anyone?"
and put your sights on Long Island and the USOPEN!
This photograph was taken here in Waterville in the 1890s.
The "tennis club" was in what is now Monument Park." There have been some very noticable changes made - if not to the rules of play - at least in the design of tennis racquets and certainly in attitudes of what constitutes appropriate afternoon apparel on the court!

I've been trying to ignore these random sprinklings of colored leaves, but perhaps it's not just dry weather that's causing them!
It takes moisture to produce fungii like this - a "Tooth" Mushroom - and no: it is NOT edible.
Perhaps it's time to admit that it's really Fall: petunias and impatiens are looking leggy and tired and tomatoes age on the vine.
WCS Athletes are in action; the season's ending at Glimmerglass and the Great Artist Series schedule is available.

Having seen the photograph of the Candee Block on yesterday's blog post, an anonymous reader sent these recollections to share:
"The picture of the Candee block from John (Ogden) reminded me of the Children's parties given every year by St. Bernard's Church. It started about 5:30 P.M. with a dinner. After the dinner the children skipped around the very nice dance floor with a partner holding hands. The winners each got a half cake. My Mother waited on table at the dinner and always made me a new dress for the occasion. Later there was a dance for the adults. The 3rd floor was later condemmed. The ground floor contained the Post Office in left hand corner, then Luker's Dry Goods Store and at one time Robert's Men's store. There was a dentist office on the second floor."
What I remember most about the Candee Block, back in the late 1960's, was the wonderful Ben Franklin Store, where you could always find exactly what you wanted and have a nice chat with Peg Pfohl and the other ladies, too!

Work continues at one end of the Car Wash - the rest of the building is open for your convenience and the well-being of your car!
More painting has been done on this house on West Bacon Street and Yes! It's a "Painted Lady!" (The accents are sort-of like those on the Falk residence, but they give a different effect against the deep blue!)
At other houses, flowers add the color.
From either direction, South Babbott Avenue it bright!

Even this shady spot on Bogan Road shines.
Another of Gene Ostrander's photos taken in the cellar of the old Mill.
When I drove past the site, yesterday afternoon, most of that area had been filled in and once the debris has been removed you'll probably never even know it was there.
