How else do you explain how the Friday before a long weekend is a third longer than a regular Friday? Or how vacation time passes a quarter faster than work time?
You see?
Here it is only Tuesday and I am wondering how come it isn't really already Thursday....
Well, here are a few pictures I took yesterday on my stroll through the South End. I grew up in the South End; we went to Tony's (the fruit & veg shop where Formaggios is now), bought Jordan almonds at the Syrian store, had bologna sandwiches at the Premier Deli, and laughed that our fancy friends weren't allowed to cross over to this side of the river.
The Syrian store is still there. And one of these days I am going to buy myself that big gold tray.
This is a jeweler near the Syrian store. I am not sure what is going on there with the display, but I like it. Very blobby and pretty.
The intersection of Waltham and Shawmut. I like this view. I also think that it is funny/sad that the old Waltham Tavern is now a fancy condo. Hahahaha!
Too bad the Sahara building is falling apart. Not so bad that it hasn't been made into luxury condos with high end finishes and gleaming hardwood floors that will stun you.
Is it Friday yet. Seriously. WTF?
