Vacant Lots

They're everywhere, but no one notices unless they live next to one. This one's typical.
This one's anything BUT typical. That's because the next door neighbor didn't care to live beside a rubbish tip and did something about it.
Most Toledoans would have practiced the city's favorite hobby. They'd have bitched about it. Wouldn't have accomplished anything, but I suppose it's good therapy.
Think of what Toledo would look like if the energy wasted on bitching and moaning went into work, instead.

And, yes, a lot of work went into this.

Not only work, but a definite flair for landscaping.
Looks much better than the chain-link fence under it.
As far as I'm concerned, Toledo needs more people like Tom Nunley.

John Denver probably didn't envision watching the grass grow in the streets.
Yes, that car's moved fairly often, by the way.

That window's perfect. I just hope the current tenants appreciate it. Not sure, though, since there's a for sale sign in front of it.
Thanks to Shari for the scanned pictures.

The Corbutt Island Vultures

Uncooperative buggers. They were turning cartwheels at 100 ft over the back yard. By the time I got the camera they were heading home.
