An early Sunday morning walk this morning in downtown Bothell WA:  the block of Main St that they closed during Covid (the first two photos) has been made a permanent no cars street. I usually screen my photos on my blog (https://crlazlomeanderings2.blogspot.com) before I Share them on FB, and I was curious when I last did a downtown Bothell photo walk:

I rode my Schwinn out to Woodinville Tuesday morning. The river and bike paths go under these huge concrete columns for the freeways around the half way point. I was taking a break when I realized that I could just ride over to McLendons Hardware and get some things I needed for our new apartment. My original plan was to drive to Woodinville later that afternoon, and this was a much more pleasant option.

4Jul2022 Bothel WA Car Show #2

What do I like about Car Shows? I guess #1 is the nostalgia...just like the music from the 60s and 70s ("Oldies" as they call them), these cars bring back a lot of memories. Another part of it is how much I enjoy editing my photos, and there are so many wonderful colors, lines and reflections...

walking along with the twins in the July 4th Childrens Parade was #1 for me, but the car show was a strong #2 :)

tried to cut and paste this from FB, not satisfied; will re do

This is a good choice for my morning's FB post, from last year on the 4th of July. My "dead end" walk is one of my favorite walks. I was out at 6:30 am today, and the temperature was 52 degrees. Two things I am excited about are the twins walking in Bothell's 4th of July Childrens Parade, and the Veterans Car Show at the Pop Keeney Stadium.

I Needed to get out and go on a photo walk yesterday morning, so I walked across the street to what I call my Dead End walk. The path goes w/sw along the river and around the bend beyond the Landing Park, where you reach a sign that says "Private Property". A Condo complex resides there. I have a few photos here, some looking through the trees, of the other side of the river. Most people walk through the Landing Park and cross over new foot and bike bridge at the East end. Fr…

My walk yesterday morning and my bike ride today were both exercises in nostalgia. Yesterday I walked up "the Ave" (University Avenue) and thru the UW campus. Today I rode my bike along the waterfront to Century Link Field, up through Chinatown, back up to the Pike Place Market and the Myrtle Edwards Park. I didn't take out my camera until I got to 4th and Main where the "Gasperetti's Roma Cafe" once stood. Gasperetti's was owned by my Uncle Bill Gasperetti, and I worked there from age 15 1/2 up to age 19? There's a new building there now, currently under construction. I found this Postcard photo with Google just now. I remember they had them by the Cashier, and I think that's my Uncle Bill and Aunt Marie coming out to their car. The thing that got me to pull out my camera was this group of new commemorative tiles along the sidewalk. Gordon Hirabayashi was a Japanese American Sociologist who at age 24 was imprisoned for disobeying the WWII internment order.

I just returned from a "brothers walk", one of my favorite things to do when I'm back home here in the US. My brother Mike and I walked a loop walk from Blyth Pk where we crossed the meadow between the two parts of the Wayne Park that Inday and I walked yesterday, and back through the tunnel to Blyth. We were so busy enjoying catching up on things while we walked that I didn't even think about picture taking. We went to Alexa's for breakfast, and Mike took this photo near Aleza's restaurant. Inday and I were amazed to see chairs lining Bothell Way NE Yesterday, 3 days before the parade! Wow...

My better half walked with me yesterday morning, the first of many Bothell walks together. Nice day. We walked our "meadow" walk, the old Wayne golf course, and we chose the trail on the other side of the river that goes along the hillside. There are some Very nice houses on East side of the bridge when you walk over. The river view shot is looking West  (photos with old iphone SE)

Chrome...

The white Pontiac and the blue car headlight photos were in my FB Memories this morning. I decided to go through some of my old Car Show photos...
