Friday Fireworks

July 4, 2009

Welcome again, another work week has come and gone and I made it through! Friday was a good day, busy at work but not overwhelmed. Spoke with many very nice folks while downtown and hope theirs and your 4th of July is a good one spent relaxing with family and friends. I think my day will be spent just finding something to do.

After many months the downtown area of San Antonio has it’s beloved Walgreen’s Drug Store back. The reopening of the store was done on Thursday and many old time residents of downtown are happy to see it back. This Walgreen’s has been on the corner of Houston St and Navarro for over 50 years, it is somewhat of a landmark and looks very fine. A whole new building. Well that is what today’s photo is. I attempted to recreate a photo I saw once from the 1950’s but was unable to do so. I have included a B&W and color version.

And here is the B&W version. I hope you enjoy both versions and my photography. Have a great 4th of July and a safe one.  Pete
