Cool corner building in Philly.

The famous, one-and-only, extraordinaire Hotel Nacional, the center of the 1950s gambling times of Havana operated by the American Mafia. Now it is a real nice hotel with a lot of comfort.

In 1946, the New York Life Insurance Company bought the 175-acre Fresh Meadow Country Club (opened 1923) for development as housing. Designed with people in mind, it consists mostly of two-storey row houses, three- to four-storey walkups and two thirteen-storey apartment towers.

We're celebrating Hadley's family all this week. Spent today in Vicksburg, Mississippi. Fifteen of us enjoyed a southern style lunch (fried chicken, purple hull peas, candied yams, cornbread, and coconut pie for me). Then a drive through the national Military Park.

=====

This is the Navy Memorial (sort of perfect since Hadley was a Navy man.) From www.nps.gov/vick/index.htm "At 202 feet in height, the Navy Memorial is the tallest monument in Vicksburg National Military Park. It is a tribute to the officers and sailors of the U.S. Navy who served in the Vicksburg Campaign. At the base of the monument are four statues of the fleet commanders, Admirals Farragut and Porter, and Flag Officers Davis and Foote."

Comedy Central: I want my share. Yes, that's a billboard for The Naked Trucker and T-Bones Show cluttering up the landscape of oldish apartments and hotels. Grrr. (In a year you'll be going "The Naked What and the Who Show?")

Removing moldy ceiling and rotted framing, taking out window, replacing framing, replacing framing, putting window back in.

Also: insulating.

I hate mold. Really, really a lot.
