Another Opera House View

I was sent this photo of the Rhoads Opera House in Boyertown. It was take the day after the fire.

What I thought was interesting is that on the right you can see The Mansion House, which is currently Durango's. And between the two buildings appears to be an empty lot. Currently between the buildings is the Hard Bean Cafe building.

When I was little the ice house was at the back of that lot. I wonder if it was there at the time of the fire?

Snowed In part 1

We got an unusually large amount of snow in Boyertown, PA, so far in 2010! We had 15 inches of snow on Friday-Saturday Feb. 5-6 then 23 inches on Feb. 10-11.

After the roads were cleared, here are some photos walking around town in our little winter wonderland.

The old Lincoln School on W Philadelphia Ave. in Boyertown, PA

Most people had cleared their sidewalks, but navigating the curbs to cross the streets was a little tricky, because some paths had gotten plowed over.

It's lucky Good Shepherd's bear is wearing an Indian blanket to stay warm!
