Garage Access3 viewsThe tiny garage in the last picture is apparently associated with the house on top and accessed from the house via the gate on the left. It doesn't strike me as a terribly convenient arrangement.Sep 23, 2021

Mini-Roundabout on 36th Street2 viewsAfter viewing the Troll, we headed west on North 36th Street, passing this cute little tree whimsically placed in the middle of the street as kind of a mini-roundabout. Sep 23, 2021

Fremont Lane2 viewsA narrow unpaved path that leads to heaven knows where.Sep 23, 2021

Unofficial Car2 viewsI hadn't seen one of these VW crew-cab pickups in quite a while. I failed to check what the rest of the word is that the blue sack is covering up because I figured the owner would think I was trying to steal it and have me arrested.Sep 23, 2021
