I took me a while to figure out where I'd seen those buildings before...
Turns out, it's the historically-black (and currently Internet-free?) section of town:

Dang it!
Episcopal church doors are supposed to be red, or I would have had it long ago.

I like the new fender crest .. very spiffy indeed! Did you need a new fender for some reason, or just wanted to sport the crest?

Thanks for purchasing a print at Color the Arts. I (and the ARTS) appreciate it! Sorry it was so loud we couldn't talk ... I asked them to turn it down, but ....

I made a quick run to Walgreens at twilight and came out to find the scooter on its side.

...But before I could get my conniption into full swing,
a very fine honest lady fessed up and gave me her insurance info.

So, not so bad.

Sorry for the delay .....

Scoot is visiting Mark for some maintenance, including a new front tire. When he went to replace the that he dicovered a small crack in the front forks, so I'm waiting on a new part ...

When scoot comes back to me, I'll get this tag .. I know right where it is too!
