Day 156 - It's the real thing...

Those new to the Frederick area probably don't expect to see a giant Coke bottle sitting on top of a building when they look up. This one adorns the old Frederick Coca Cola bottling plant, which now serves as a distribution facility for Coke products.

Day #156 - Progress in action...

Sort of. After many weeks of delays, postponements, and suppliers who didn't deliver, we finally have progress on our porch work. They've added a post, replaced another corner post, and covered them all in a maintenance-free, weatherproof vinyl covering. They've also started adding on the railing, but of course the pieces don't fit together right or some such nonsense, so they have to go back to the supplier to see if they have more in stock, which we already know they don't or else we wouldn't have had so many delays, yada, yada, yada. And on and on it goes. Have I told you how much I hate dealing with contractors??

Does the rest of the world have the endless problems we do with these people?

Day #111 - Shades of Purple - 6

How many purple buildings do you have where you live?? LOL! One of the many interesting old buildings in downtown Frederick, this one's been on this corner since 1886.
