The elegant Chevy Chase Apartments, at 5863 Chevy Chase Parkway NW, were designed by architect Leon Dessez and completed in 1909. The all-steel construction was unusual at the time. Postcard photo by Frederick Schutz.
Photographed at Chevy Chase, Montgomery County, Maryland. This squirrel is a much lighter edition of our common eastern gray squirrel. This is the first we have seen in almost thirty years.
This one and the following few Cardinal shots were taken though my front windows of my home office...the glass in the windows is probably eighty to ninty years old..some younger but thats the age of the oldest and they are very wavey and tend to give me a very strange effect when shooting through them..it is kinda like trying to focus two lens instead of one...I really like the 'brushed' effect I got this morning..plus the birds were so jumpy I couldn't open the window!! Tell me what you think..(this is the reason they tend not to be very sharp..but the lighting this morning was incredible!!

Photographed in my garden at Chevy Chase, Montgomery County, Maryland. We and the flowers have been enjoying warm temperatures in the mid 70'sF (20'sC) the past week. We are even having "summer" thunderstorms at a time of year when we normally have snow storms.
Built in 1790, First Congregational Church and Meetinghouse (Church of Christ; Townshend Church) sits on the green in the picturesque of Townshend Vermont. The church is one of the oldest surviving buildings in Townshend. Major fires in 1886, 1894, 1896, and 1918 destroyed much of the center of Town and the buildings there are relatively recent in construction in relation to that of the church and the founding of the town. Many of the buildings in the quaint town date from the 1920âs because of the fire history. The Church fortunately was set away from the other buildings and survived. The Town of Townshend was chartered in 1753 as one of the New Hampshire Land Grants. It was named for the notorious Englishman, Charles Townshend, who was most notable for his fondness for taxing the colonies. As the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the British government, he proposed and endorsed several pieces of legislation passed by the Parliament to raise tax revenue from the colonies. His most infamous tax, arguably, was the tax on tea that helped to push the colonies into declaring independence and was the basis of the Boston Tea Party in 1773.Like all New England communities the early settlers spent their time and lives farming less than ideal soils and terrain. In the late the 1700âs manufacturing, retail, and hospitality related concerns began to appear and flourish. The village of West Townshend was by far the center of economic and agricultural activity in the earlier years. Periodic flooding on the West River also affected the town. A major change to the occurred in 1959-1961with the construction of the Townshend Dam for flood control purposes. The resulting lake flooded much of West Townshend and eliminated many of the prime properties that were important to the earlier economic development of the area. The church lies on the north side of the town green near the junction of VT 30 and VT 35 in downtown Townshend. When looking at the common one notices there is one big tree as the size one would expect on a green this old but the rest are much smaller. Turns out that when the movie Funny Farm with Chevy Chase was filmed in Townshend, the film crew accidentally killed all but one of the trees on the Townshend Common when they colored the leaves to make it look as if it was mid-autumn. This resulted in the re-planting of the most of the trees. (oops!) Today, the one tree that survived the damage sits in the middle of the Common, surrounded by much shorter, newer trees. Who would expect a little Hollywood history in the village of Townshend?The quaint wooden church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.

After World War II, a new generation of Chinese restaurants began opening in Washington, bringing fresh styles of cooking that supplemented the traditional Cantonese fare. Noteworthy was the Peking Restaurant, at 5522 Connecticut Avenue NW in Chevy Chase, which opened in 1947 and was one of the first of the new wave of Chinese eateries. The Peking was founded by Chuon Ming Lo (1918-1980), a Cantonese native who came to Washington in 1941 as a chef at the Chinese Embassy, and four friends. Lo offered “Peking style” dishes, including moo shu pork and Peking duck, which quickly gained a following among diplomats and local connoisseurs. In the 1950s, The New York Times and Holiday Magazine, among others, would rank the Peking as one of the city’s best restaurants.
You know this car. Everyone does. This is a replica of the Wagon Queen Family Truckster from National Lampoon's Vacation, the 1983 classic comedy written by John Hughes starring Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo as Clark and Ellen Griswold. The only surviving Truckster from the film is kept at the Historic Auto Attractions museum in Roscoe, Illinois. But that hasn't stopped a handful of enterprising souls from recreating one of the ugliest, yet most beloved, of all fictional vehicles ever to grace a movie screen.
This replica, built by Eric Wise of Independence, Missouri, is based on a 1985 Ford LTD Country Squire station wagon. Photographed at the 2010 Hot Rod Power Tour stopover in Springfield, Illinois on June 6, 2010.
