They were all occupied and moving! The third one almost hit me while I was taking the photo.

I was taking this photo when there were just 2 cars, and that third car almost hit me because she jumped the sidewalk to get in line behind them.

PLAYGROUND CONSTRUCTION ALERT
Construction of the new Loring Greenway playground will begin tomorrow, Tuesday, September 30. After the fence is erected around the site, sand will be removed and equipment will be moved in. This will require trucks on the west end of the Greenway. The contractor will take measures to ensure pedestrian safety. 

Most walkways will remain open, however access will be restricted on the west and north sides of the playground, including from the adjacent gate at Greenway Gables. Construction is expected to last two to three weeks.

Found grounding in the sky tonight with a beautiful Sunset Yoga in the Dome! Sheraton's been doing a great job of sharing the dome, hosting numerous community events since they opened the hotel back up about two months ago.

I used to live in a Quadrel building. I came home one day to find they had cut a big hole in my kitchen wall. No explanation as to why. Then the mice started coming in. They told me it was probably because of the big hole in my kitchen wall. Both issues remained for over a year until I moved out.

Happy to have the Stone Arch Bridge back. Throwing it back to 2010, where it served as the backdrop for some of my more important work.
