Mr. Showalter's 1955 Ford
Last year while we were in Medford Amy and I met a couple, Marjorie and Kirk, who live near the Eastwood Cemetery, where we go for walks. They have taken over a chunk of city property leading up to the cemetery and planted gobs of flowers -- a couple of very nice beds that extend probably 60 feet or more.
They also bought a burial plot and turned it into a flower bed (their yard is next to the cemetery).

Silverado
Lyle invited me along to see the inside of the old Silverado Club, most recently called Club Portland. For many years it was a bathhouse and bar and meeting place for men.
I took photos, which are in the Picasa gallery (linked from the title of this post). Here are a few:
