LINK streetscapes: Washington Street and North Jefferson Street in Historic Burlington
This particular segment of Streetscapes transported me to a different era. I’ve been to Burlington before, but never made it past the McDonald’s and gas stations. The further I drove, the further away from modern reality I got, and I mean that in the best way possible. When I drove past Burlington Commons, I actually […]

There’s something about a doughnut and coffee before class that just makes your entire day better. […]

LINK streetscapes: Fairfield Avenue in Bellevue

LINK streetscapes: U.S. 42 in Florence, Union
This segment of Streetscapes isn’t technically a street. It’s a Highway. But I often find myself in this area for doctor’s appointments, hair appointments, or just other errands that bring me out this way. So I decided my next trip to the Florence/Union area was not going to be appointment driven, but rather recreation driven, […]
