I'm still traveling so this is from the archives. Once more around the lake, my friends. The white building is the Veterans Memorial Building, built in the 1930s, at the NE end of the Lake Merritt in the Adams Point neighborhood. To the building's left is
the narrow, little park I showed you where Glen Echo Creek runs above ground for a couple of blocks. Hard to believe, right? Especially since traffic zooms around this area like crazy. The VM is now primarily a meeting place for various community groups, including the American Legion, a dance studio, and a senior center. It also has an auditorium that is occasionally used for performances. The most recent has been Battle of the Salsa Bands 2. Rumor has it that the Grateful Dead had a concert here early in its career. Visit
Weekend Reflections for interesting photos from around the world. I'm also linking to
Monochrome Weekend for the first time.

Thanks for visiting my blog and thereby introducing me to your blog. Great photo for today's meme. PS. Commisario Brunetti is a terrific character for Donna Leon's novels, isn't he. I think I've read most of them, and, of course, with Pierre's Venice blog and these novels I'm motivated to visit that wonderful city. Have you also read Brunetti's guide book and Leon's cookbook, too?
