Another Then and Now
















I'm a bit behind in posting all the photos and emails I've been getting so I'll try to step it up! Here's another "then and now" pair - Archer and Snyder - 1961 and 2009. Pretty cool huh??

Watermarks

























The high-water marks are an interesting part of the downtown landscape. I took these pictures in December, 2009. I remember the 1988 floods pretty well. From my house there was no way to get to Peden unless you went the longer back-way over the hills.
