Really selling that haircut

January 9th, 2013



It's been four months and he's still miserable. Although he's not the only one on the board questioning his choice of hairstyle...

Ol’ No. 21!

Hoping it'll look better if he squints one eye.




I asked the guy standing out front how long this place has been a bar. His response: "Well, I know it's at least— let's see, I've been coming here since I was 16, so at least 30 years."

It's even more massive than this picture makes it seem.

Cryders Lane

January 9th, 2013



Whenever you see a roadway wandering drunkenly at an angle across its tidy, orthogonal neighbors, there's a good chance that you're looking at one of the area's early thoroughfares, preserved at least in part when the street grid was later built around it. Such is the case with Cryders Lane, which once led to the farm of W.W. Cryder, a Dutchman who owned a large chunk of land in northern Whitestone. Things were presumably a bit more bucolic in those days, without all these Spanish-tiled behemoths blocking out the sun.

Awesome mailbox #68

January 9th, 2013



The original! I was there when Jason photographed this postal receptacle almost three years ago, but I didn't discover (and he didn't remember) he had titled it thus until after I returned from my mailbox-laden walk across the US.

Day 376

The Cryder water tower!

January 9th, 2013



The aforementioned Cryder farm was wiped out long ago, but its water tower remains, disguised as this thick brown signpost. If you walk around to the left side, you can still see the outlet pipe protruding from the base.
