The famous statue of William Penn atop City Hall.
There is a very interesting story attached to this one, called the 'curse of Billy Penn'. Wiki says,
The Curse of Billy Penn was an alleged curse used to explain the failure of major professional sports teams based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to win championships since the March 1987 construction of the One Liberty Place skyscraper, which exceeded the height of William Penn's statue atop Philadelphia City Hall.
The curse apparently ended on October 29, 2008, when the Philadelphia Phillies won the 2008 World Series, a year and four months after a statuette of the William Penn figure atop City Hall was affixed to the final beam during the June 2007 topping-off of the Comcast Center, currently the tallest building in the city.
Mr. Penn surely doesn't like being blocked!
Tidbit about Portland: It is kind of owned by Nike, being as the company was created by a University of Oregon professor and their world headquarters are now in a suburb of Portland.
It was the Crews Lake Raiders first internal scrimmage game. They all did great.... middle school football is back! Tis the season for 2 for $1 chili-dogs and coke dinners!
So for the next couple of months I'll be posting FOOTBALL PHOTOS!
The Whitney Block is an important provincial office building located in Toronto, Ontario. It is located across the street from the Ontario Legislature, and contains the offices of the Premier of Ontario and most cabinet ministers.

At its completion it was one of the tallest buildings in Toronto.
This building in Fort Wayne was built circa 1888 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
I'm participating in an online quilting bee and I decided that it would be fun to make blocks based on each month's suggestions for me as well as for the person who is designated to receive them. Last month, I made Jocelyn a log cabin block so this weekend I made one and mine is WONKY!
This is a special block for someone who recently suffered a great tragedy. It will be put in a quilt made just for her.

The village of Kalvsvik dates back 800 years. This is the newest house there. This will no doubt upset my friend Jim a little bit, as the green house in the background, that you can no longer see from the road, is his favorite house in this part of rural Haninge.
Oh Chicago: the windy city, the city of big shoulders, the second city is always first in my heart. How do I love thee?
The hot dogs and the bike paths! The blues and the theater, the optimism, the casserole-heavy potlucks! The bootleggery, meat-packery, Great Fire-y historical charm! Olmstead and Obama! Oprah and International Mr. Leather! But more than that, Chicago, I love that charmingly flat inflection that greets me every time I wait for the train:
"ATTENTION CUSTOMERS: AN INBOUND TRAIN, TOWARD THE LOOP, WILL BE ARRIVING SHORTLY."
Joy! Rapture! Public transit!
