I'm taking a break from the snow and cold today. Well, I'm not getting away from it, but my blog is. Before this weather hit I took some pictures on my way to work. Every time I stopped for a red light I would pull out my camera and snap a shot. So for your Friday view this week this is what I see on my way to work. These were taken last Saturday and there were a few snow showers so you might see some flakes in these pictures.

Starting out from my parking spot in front of my house. Looking up the street. |

And looking down the street in my side mirror. The church is All Saints Catholic Church which just recently was shut down after being there over 100 years. So sad. |

And here is the view across the street. I don't see anything coming in the mirror so let's start off. (Do you see the snowflakes?) |

Here's where I need to turn. The building on the corner used to be a real estate agency. It's the one I used to buy my house. Next to it used to be a hardware store. Now it's a medical center and a chiropractor. Everything changes. |

Heading down Aramingo Avenue. That's I-95 on the left. (More snowflakes!) |

Passing Lowe's and Public Storage. It used to be all manufacturing along here. Now it's all shopping. |

I had to stop at the bank and make the deposit for work. This is not a usual thing. |

Back on Aramingo and heading for work. But soon I'll turn off onto one of the side streets. Traffic is too bad if you keep to the major roads. |

Here's the park I pass. When I get here I know I'm almost to work. |

The pizza place is at the last light I have before I turn onto Indiana Avenue where the library is. I don't think I have ever gotten a green light at this intersection during the entire 3 years I've worked at this library. |

And here I am pulling up to work. I usually find a spot right outside the front door. |

My messy desk is waiting me. Time to get to work! |

How is the pizza at that place? Nice ride, the library looks like a school!
ReplyDeleteI've actually never had pizza from there. I don't like piazza all that much. I'm allergic to all things dairy so it's a big deal to dose myself up so that I don't get sick on the cheese.
DeleteI enjoyed tagging along with you!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda.
DeleteWhat a fun peek into your every day world, Kathy. Ummmm...that looks like a NOVEL laying there on your WORK desk!?! lol xo Diana
ReplyDeleteActually it's not a novel, but novels have to be processed to go out too!
DeleteIt was neat seeing my neighborhood (I live 2 blocks off of Armingo) from that perspective. It looks familiar yet different
ReplyDeleteat the same time. Thanks for the ride!
How neat to ride along with you! I love libraries...especially the old buildings. Happy weekend my friend!
ReplyDeleteThat was fun!
ReplyDeleteI like this post, a lot. And now I know what your side of the country looks like.
The view on Aramingo is wonderful.
Sorry about the snow :(
Thanks for taking us on the drive .
ReplyDeleteI love libraries !
I enjoyed seeing your neighborhood, its very charming! Where is this?
ReplyDeleteThis is the northeast section of Philadelphia, PA. The neighborhoods are Bridesburg (where I live) and Port Richmond (where I work).
