Day 255 - East Side of Frederick

the block

Neglected

Today, I had to buy a new battery for the Hummingbird Feeder.  No, I do not have a newfangled, electric feeder for hummingbirds.  Those who are close friends know that my red convertible is named the Hummingbird Feeder, because like it does for a hummingbird, its red color drew me right to it on the used car lot almost two years ago.  It is my fair weather car, and today we finally had weather fair enough to use it.

Veins

After two battery cable jumps by helpful neighbors in the same day, I realized the battery would not hold a charge.  Therefore, I could not drive somewhere for my walk, park it, and count on having it start up again.  So, I drove it to Kreitz Auto on East Street in Frederick, and while they were replacing the battery, I did my walk.

New Orleans Courtyard?

I walked west on Fourth Street to Market, then north on Market, east on Fifth Street back to East, etc., continuing to zig-zag the blocks between East and Market until I finished at Seventh Street.  Then I returned to Kreitz.

What do they do there?

All wires lead here.

Patriotric Porch

No matter how often I walk in downtown Frederick, there is always interesting material.

Today's circumstances led to a good walk.  Isn't it great how it sometimes turns out that way?
