Wednesday Doorway (on Thursday)

I usually post a doorway on Wednesday but forgot, so I am posting it today. I don't know how it happened, but I've been so preoccupied with other things lately it just slipped by me. Has this ever happened to you?

This doorway caught my attention because of the simplicity of the arch and also because it was being newly painted and spruced up.

Paving the streets

I went out walking at lunchtime today and saw workers paving Franklin Street. I always thought this was done at night so as not to inconvenience traffic, to say nothing of pedestrians.

City streets are loud and congested enough without these giant beasts chewing up and spitting out gravel during the day. I know it has to be done, but maybe night time would be better.

Digging up Charles Street

This is a picture I took yesterday on Charles Street. I thought it was interesting because it provides some color on a drab and overcast day and showed five workers standing around while the one man in the hole (unseen from this angle) was the only worker doing work at this moment. And there are two policemen on detail; why two when all you need is one supervise.
