Thanks for checking back. I still have...Hey, Sarah. Thanks for checking back. I still have some piccys held back, so there's more Silvertonian goodness to come.<BR/><BR/>I recently found out some interesting things about my own family too. My grandmother wanted to be a graphic designer - or what they called it when she was a youngster, a "commercial artist" ... I'm finding out that artistic ambition actually runs fairly deep in my family, and Silverton has given the world more than her share of artists, even if they don't get well known (like Mr. Digerness).<BR/><BR/>I remember well that building across the street from the Wolf Block. When I was a kid, it was the 88-Cent Store. My family doctor, Dr Pettit (yes, I believe he's the granddad of our own local astronaut) had his office in the building at the southeast corner of First and East Main. I don't begrudge Silverton a cute little restaurant in the Wolf, but the idea of a hardware store not being there kind of makes me sad, in an attenuated, dried-flower-wan sort of way.<BR/><BR/>I'll put the Wolf Block on my list of things to take a closer look at next time we go through.<BR/><BR/>And your comments on here have rocked, by the way. thanks for checking in.Samuel John Kleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00514541030057763303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189482.post-58065711437651465092008-01-13T19:35:00.000-08:002008-01-13T19:35:00.000-08:00This is the previous anon. - my real name is Sarah...This is the previous anon. - my real name is Sarah Fronza - I can never remember my gmail log-in while I'm away. Just got back from Chicago. Anyway ... beautiful photos of our native town - absolutely gorgeous. It has been such a joy to watch the renovations in our town over the past several years - the Wolf Building was/is a masterpiece (corner of Main and Water) - stop by the next time you swing through town. Also, directly across the street, the same man who renovated the Wolf building is also redoing that one as well. Totally cool. Darn - I still can't remember to ask my dad about Digerness. He's a land-use attorney, so he's always up-to-date on such matters! One of these days.<BR/><BR/>Love your blog.Sarah Fronzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07614618124343073094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189482.post-30318976352847799662008-01-06T18:46:00.000-08:002008-01-06T18:46:00.000-08:00It's just like Silverton that way ... like I said ...It's just like Silverton that way ... like I said in the post, a sea of somewhat boring, mostly delightful normality with this little flashes of wow in it. <BR/><BR/>The way those buildings back right up to the creek is almost European, neh?<BR/><BR/>But then you pull back and ... sleppy little Oregon town. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure that place explains <I>me</I> in a way, but I can't quite put my finger on it.Samuel John Kleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00514541030057763303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189482.post-36985090556913061812008-01-06T18:31:00.000-08:002008-01-06T18:31:00.000-08:00There's something so surreal about seeing building...There's something so surreal about seeing buildings that end right upon water like that.
