Another old building


The building looks as if it was a church.  It is in the blocks where many churches have been for a long time.

Cabo


Landscaping by the Cabo restaurant.  Besides being in a historic church (the black door may have been a entrance to the church), this Main St. restaurant is by a bus stop for several of the buses.  Fascinating place.

More football


In addition to the football game action, there is a lot going on at a game.  My attention goes to the photographers working the sidelines during the half-time as well as the game.

Saturday afternoon football


T'was a chilly afternoon for football.  Va. Tech fans didn't leave the game early; they stayed and hoped.  Alas, the Hokies lost.

Master Chorale


Concert by the community singing group.  Its top-level talent seems to attract even more talented singers every concert.  And the audience fills the hall--in this case, the church.

Police station


From the library across the street to the police station.  The last time I was inside the police station was to get help to install a child seat in my car to pick up a friend at the airport...It was not a major effort for the police officer to check the seat.  It was good.

Fralin Hall for Music talk


Fralin Hall Auditorium was the venue for a talk about music therapy.  Seemed a marvelous chance for me to realize the convergence of science and art their importance in health.  Quite a combination.
