I don't think I've ever been in South
Marquette before noon.
I was, though, Sunday, and I was there
with a purpose. As I had mentioned last week one of my Jim Koski ™
programs for the History Center next year is dual (or duel) show
featuring both North & South Marquette. Since I'm adapting a
walking tour for an indoor show, I'm gonna need pictures to put
places & things in context. And because I don't want those
pictures to be snowy and/or gloomy, I decided to take advantage of a
sunny Sunday morning and shoot them.
Wanna see?
This one is looking down Division
Street from near Newberry Street. I put it up on Facebook and
got a ton of likes with it. I also had someone mention that it looks
like New England, and you know what? I can't disagree.
Speaking of hills, here's the Genessee
Street hill. I took it to show just how steep that sucker is, but
I'm thinking that no picture can ever truly capture that aspect of
it.
Otherwise, there are pictures of the
Orianna Creek--
Of various street signs
Of a lonely looking softball field--
And of one of my favorite bits of
semi-hidden South Marquette history--
I'm hoping that in the middle of
January seeing pictures this sunny will brighten up the stage at
Kaufman Auditorium. But you know what?” Even if they don't, it
was still worth it actually going to South Marquette before noon just
to take them.
Maybe I should spend a few more
mornings there in the future.

Before I go today I have to wish my
favorite mother-in-law in the whole wide world a happy birthday. It's
daily blog reader Betsy in Reese's birthday today, and it's a big one
that ends in a certain digit. So happy birthday, “Mom”. Hope
you have a spectacular day!
