Water Avenue Grillwork

The Adler building on Water Avenue recently underwent repairs,

 and the second-story grillwork remains and sure lends itself to photography.

Skywatch Friday, Puffy Skies

Skies have been blue with a few puffy clouds for much of August. That might change this weekend due to a tropical depression in the Gulf of Mexico. Come on, rain!

Phoenix Park Opens

Welcome to Phoenix Park!

Its grand opening arrived Friday with colorful balloons, speakers, refreshments and the installation of locally manufactured patio furniture.

Originally the idea of George Needham, who drew plans for beautification of the lot once occupied by the Phoenix Building, a modified version designed and sponsored by individuals, businesses and the city of Selma gives people a place to relax and picnic on Water Avenue.  It also affords a better view across the street from the St. James Hotel. The patio furniture and umbrellas were donated by Plantation Patterns, a company located at Craig Industrial Park.
