In an alley downtown, you can find this sign.
It's...art, alternate reality...oh, you decide:

Railroad Repairs

2008-05-02T21:01:00.001-07:00

Just about every railroad crossing in the city is being worked on right now. Between this and other construction and street work, trying to navigate through the city is like negotiating a maze.

ARTREACH-hand project

2008-05-01T20:59:00.001-07:00

The project for kids and adventuresome adults this week at ArtReach involved immersing hands in alginate to make a mold, keeping them absolutely still for 2 minutes. Plaster was poured into the mold and the results revealed as above. A tad creepy, but major fun!

Construction City

It seems like this whole town is under construction and renovation right now. This is the current project going on at the Union Hospital complex.

Fairbanks Park - World Tai Chi Day

2008-04-26T18:24:00.001-07:00

At 10 a.m. in each time zone around the world, starting in Australia, people gathered and...did Tai Chi!
Here's what it looked like in Fairbanks Park.

Bossy parking garage.
The above three signs are in such close proximity, I was able to capture them all in this photo with reflections:

The central part of the mural was completed when I took these pictures. People were working
on the side sections that day.

Old Glass

Lately, I've seen this sort of old, wavy glass several places.
These windows are on a downtown building.

5.2 Earthquake

2008-04-19T12:52:00.001-07:00

Yesterday morning, we were awakened at 5:30 a.m. EST by the whole house shaking and we realized that we had just felt an earthquake. Luckily, this was the only "damage" I discovered in our house: tiny Curious George atop the piano had been knocked over.

If you feel your house shaking or just want to see where the earth is moving today, here's a great site to check out. Click on the "did you feel it?" link if you're looking for information on a local event you've experienced.Within 20 minutes, our quake was posted with relatively accurate statistics regarding magnitude and epicenter. As more information came in, those were adjusted.

Washington Park Community Center Mural (1)

2008-04-17T16:52:00.000-07:00

I was very excited to drive by the Washington Park Community Center a couple of weeks ago and see this huge mural in progress. This was a project funded with a city grant and executed by students in the art department at Indiana State University. The mural is the work of Hammond, Indiana artist Tom Torluemke.

Obama in Terre Haute

2008-04-11T18:18:00.000-07:00

Okay. So this is just a shot of my television screen about an hour ago as I watched Senator Obama's speech live from Terre Haute North High School.

I might have been there myself, if I had had the fortitude to stay in this line at a local mall where tickets to attend the speech were being distributed yesterday. The shot above was taken at about the midpoint of the line and my place was...well, at the very end. The line went the entire length of the Meadows Mall, pictured here, from the far leg of the mall where my place was.

Tracks

2008-04-10T20:01:00.001-07:00

RR tracks....criss-crossing Terre Haute, some in horrible, car-damaging disrepair....this is just a bit of the track that runs by a doctor's office.
