Sunday Walk

Scenes from a Sunday afternoon in Beacon, NY.

More work going on at The Roundhouse At Beacon Falls.

Interesting windows at Jessica Wickham Woodworker.

A warm day brings people out on East Main Street.

This is a doggie in a store window. I don't know how much he cost.

A ladies' clothing store in Beacon, Jacqueline. Nice hats in the window for Easter.

Looks like we finally have a florist in town.

Also our own local beer at Hop.

A pretty dress in the window at Lauren and Riley.

Antiques for sale in front of a store.

One of the things I like about my neighborhood in Beacon is that right around the corner from our house we have a old-fashioned, neighborhood deli. It was formerly occupied as Roby's Deli but after much renovation and expansion it is the Copper Roof Deli. We did not have time to get something to eat, but I got a few shots of the inside anyway. You can get something to eat, grab milk or a snack, and they have some sundries for sale as well.

If we ever get around to eating there I will post our impressions. For now, you can see their Facebook page where they advertise their daily specials and they are rapidly gathering fans:

Plenty of beverages and chips to choose from. Note the other stuff for sale high on the shelves to the left and right.

The staff in the kitchen.

An ATM in the foreground in case you forget your cash. Candy at the counter.

Seating and more drinks in the back.

It's on the corner of Teller and West Center streets in Beacon.

Occupy Hong Kong

My brother Tony sent this, and these pictures, from Hong Kong:

"Took these last week. Apparently you can stage a protest but not congregate. There wasn't one person inside the entire encampment which even had it's own library and kitchen."
