Odd, Old and Other-Worldly

OH my!

Beware of a few ODD, OLD and OTHER-worldly characters

 ON the sidewalk in front of the G.A.W. Trading Post!

  At first glance, they just might appear overbearing. 

The ONE ON the left is definitely OUTDATED,

 and the ONE in the middle is just OUTRAGEOUS,

 while that Wizard of OZ Witch-Wannabe looks

 like she needs some OXYGEN!

Well, Halloween season will soon be OVER,

 and at least they will return from wherever they came!

So, I guess you can tell it's O Week OVER  at ABC Wednesday!

The Morning after Jubilee

Water Avenue is cool and clear the morning following the Bridge Crossing Jubilee.

 But after a frigid weekend when snow flurries actually fell downtown,

 the proprietors of the GAW Trading Post enjoy sitting in the sun

 before opening the store in the Adler Building.

 Grace Powell (in the pink) sells estate items there, and she

 returned to Selma after spending 43 years in Brooklyn, N.Y., where

 she directed a daycare center.

 "It was always my dream to come home to Selma," she told me.

 "I was born here and left at age 19."

Grace, along with her son and brother, have worked hard the past few years

 to restore the 1860's building which was damaged

 by Hurricane Ivan in 2004. The building will be on tour during

 the annual Spring Pilgrimage March 16-17.
