ISSUE #1552

Thursday was a perfect day for a tour of the south end of the island.  With a group of 11 women,leisurely walked from the kiosk to the FDR Park.

It is always fun to read the engraved stones at the Hope
Memorial.  A good lesson in lsland History a few feet at a time.

Find the pink house?  My favorite thing to do.  Usually people spot it.

Here it is.  On top of an apartment building. Rumor is that it was once the home of John Lennon.

The new (2023?)_ lookout is perfect for a group photo

Never tired of seeing tugs in the river.

Walking home, really waiting for the RED BUS, was a perfect view west.

There seems to be no way to take a bad photo of the Bridge.

Though the Q102 no longer stops at Southpoint the RED BUS still does.  

RIOC…How about a bench at this bus stop.  My feet were aching and  many visitors would welcome a bench while waiting.

Back at the Tram Lawn the Map Project panels were installed and awaiting the reveal on Wednesday, October 15th at 1  p.m.
