Another Landmark Disappears: At 7 AM yesterday morning, while driving to my office, I noticed a gathering of construction equipment and workers at the site of the original Catholic church. A new, much larger church was built many years ago to accommodate increased attendance. The old church was an historic landmark. At 3:30 PM yesterday afternoon, while driving to the market, I passed the spot where the old Catholic church had stood. There was no sign of it. Another historic landmark is gone! Be certain to view the slide show of historic Corning photographs described below!
New Links I have added two new links to the links section. The links are for photograph galleries of historic photographs of Corning and aerial photographs of Corning. The photographs may be viewed individually or as slide shows. Enjoy!
Our cats are unusually attracted to paper. One of the pipes under the kitchen sink broke, and Laura placed a sheet of paper over the drain to remind us not to use that sink. Zeus quickly leaped into the sink in order to posture atop the paper. Click to enlarge.
