Triple word score
North Twenty-sixth Street between Grace and Franklin
I can't imagine why anyone would be playing Scrabble in the middle of the road. This tile has been embedded between the pavers for months, years maybe.
This is the one block on Church Hill with the original spallstone paving. When the city comes and does utility work on the gas lines and water mains, they always have to put the stones back down or the community association goes on the warpath. Seriously, tomahawks and everything.
Actually, I'm lying. But the idea of a bunch of irate homeowners and preservationists descending on city hall with stone age-style weapons amuses me.
Meanwhile, north of Broad Street, someone wants to Stop Gentrification.
This block looks pretty good to me. The fewer crack houses, the better, I always say.
