Former Peacock-Salem Launderers and Cleaners building in Salem, VA

Leave a comment

This building had too much character for me not to photograph it.  It is the former site of the Peacock-Salem Launderers and Cleaners on Colorado Street in Salem.

The business is not defunct — they actually just moved elsewhere in town five years ago. Prior to that, the building below was used since 1935.

9-11 Memorial in Salem, Virginia

Leave a comment

Salem has its own 9-11 Memorial, beside Fire Station No. 1 at the corner of Calhoun and Market Streets.  (I am sorry that my photography skills here are quite poor.)  What you see below are two steel beams from the 33rd to 36th Floors of the World Trade Center’s North Tower.

I’ve seen several of these memorials in New York; I was surprised to find one so far south.

The trees around the Salem Post Office are goddam creepy.

They’re like undead Ents or something.

Why is that?

Also, I’ve come to learn that the bamboo I keep seeing is “golden bamboo,” a non-native, invasive species.

Salem, Virginia, February 2017

I took these shots last night, before I joined some great friends for great conversation and a great dinner on a balmy midwinter weekend.  Every February should be as kind.
