All The Way From Wisconsin

Middletown is a hot tourist destination! These two people came all the way from Wisconsin to see it.


Well, there is a little more to the story than that. Linda and Harold do live in Wisconsin. They are friends of mine visiting the DC area and they came up to Middletown to spend the afternoon with my wife and me. They have seen the pictures on this web site and wanted to see the town in person.

We walked around a little, did some shopping at Snallygaster, took in some of the history of the area and had a very nice late lunch at the Main Cup.

Stained Glass 2

Here is one of the three windows in yesterday's post.



Here is another view of one of the windows, taken from the inside of the church during daylight a few months ago.

Stained Glass 1

I was talking about this web site with the owner of Snallygaster on Saturday and she made a great suggestion ... photograph the stained glass windows on one of the big churches near the center of town, at night. Why didn't I think of that?

So here is a shot of the three windows on the front of Mt. Zion Church.



I'll post another one or two shots of these windows tomorrow and one day soon I'll take pictures of the windows on the Christ Reformed Church.

Inside The Snallygaster

I have taken many exterior pictures of the Snallygaster shop, but yesterday was the first time I shot photos from the inside. Actually, that was the first time I have gone inside. What a great shop! Jewelry, pottery, gifts, art, photographs and local interest items. Here are two interior photos:

A Few More Lights

Christmas decorations will be up on many houses for a few more days, so here is one more picture of them.

Still Low

Gasoline prices are still the lowest they've been in years. This was photographed yesterday.
