"Back to the Future"

The theme this week by Craver which is "Back to the Future". Mac, Kathy, Sandy, Craver, Lew and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT on Wednesdays and voting begins after that.

My friend Craver came up with a neat subject. I thought about it and of course thought of the movie of the same name. No DeLoreans available so what to show? I decided to show a log cabin that was brought "Back to the Future" from 1808. 

The log cabin was built in 1808 in New Lisbon, Ohio. It was founded as a German newspaper. It was the first newspapers west of Pittsburgh, PA. In 1809 it was changed to English and called The Ohio Patriot.

The log cabin has been updated with a ramp for handicap entry. It also has an updated roof with shingles, air conditioner, modern windows and electric lights. It has been brought "Back to the Future".

It is located on Route 43 in Kent and is in the Davey Arboretum across from the Davey Tree headquarters.

This is a bench that has that has the look of 1808.

"OVER THE RIVER"

The theme this week by Kathy which is "Over the River". Mac, Kathy, Sandy, Craver, Lew and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT on Wednesdays and voting begins after that. As you can see there have been some changes and the group has changed.


I was thinking of showing the Cuyahoga River but instead chose the Niagra River at Niagra Falls. I wanted to show a view Over the River which showed the Canadian Falls. This is what I chose for my header.

This is looking over the river at the American Falls. The rainbow was neat.

The Maid of the Mist with a lot of mist from the falls over the river.

This was a view from the bridge looking over the river to the two falls.

A little closer view over the river.

 What to show? Where do you find ORANGE. Why it's Fall and it is everywhere.  I decided to use an Orange sunrise I saw in Canada this earlier this year. I thought it was beautiful.

The Fall scene is everywhere and it is Orange.

This is an Orange clock at Ray's.

My wife likes to decorate with Orange.

She is quite good at decorating and she made this door wreath in Orange.

"SHOP WINDOW"

The theme this week by Mac  is "Shop Window".  Mac, Chris,Kathy, Rich  and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT on Wednesdays and voting begins after that.

I told Mac we were at a disadvantage in the states. England has some great little shops. My only chance was Acorn Alley in Kent. This is a new downtown developement that has a lot of little shops. I went down this morning and took some photos.

This is across the street which is Empire Gifts. It has a neat shop window.

McKay Bricker has a neat shop window with Christmas ornements displayed.

 Check out all the options.a

Connected is Kent State Gallery which has an art display in the shop window.

The Works has a lot of gifts at the front of Acorn Alley.

This is the shop window in Acorn Alley of Home Markets. Too bad the "O" in the OPEN sign was burnt out.
