Shoney Bear

Spotted the Shoney's Bear on Kanawha Terrace walking in the 2009 St. Albans Founder's Day Parade.

God Bless The Union

This former church building is located in the community of Robinhood, WV (Boone County). Most recently this site served as UMWA Local Hall 8377. Now abandoned, one can find nothing more than old mine records and used shooting targets in the unsecured ruins.

Twilight

Saw this sign from days gone by in Twilight, WV during a recent weekend road trip.

Mountaineer Pride

This is part of a mural that is on the back of a car wash in the Kanawha City area of Charleston, WV.

Building 3 Art

This piece of art is on the front of Building 3 on the State Capitol Complex in Charleston, WV. This mosaic style piece includes a lady standing in the center of six scenes (which I assume represent different industries). Below the lady is the state motto, Mountani Semper Liberi which means Mountaineers are Always Free.

WV Veterans Memorial

The WV Veterans Memorial is located on the WV Capitol Complex.

Don't Mess With A Lad in Plaid

I had the opportunity once again to visit the Virginia Scottish Games this year. They were located in The Great Meadow in The Plains, Virginia about 45 minutes from D.C. This is a very unique festival that anyone can attend with paid admission. They have multiple vendors setup with clothing, gifts and food.

Smithsonian National Zoo

I took this photo of a tiger on display at the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington, D.C. during Labor Day weekend 2009.

Fresh Step Toilet

We spotted this homemade toilet while leaving the Jimmy Buffet concert at the Nissan Pavilion over Labor Day weekend. I know it's gross, but it makes for a good laugh.

Crystal Chandelier

Chandelier in the WV State Capitol Rotunda.

Starbucks Coffee

We recently stopped at this stand alone Starbucks Coffee near Canton, Ohio. It was conveniently located beside of an Einstein's Bro. Bagels, which made for a yummy pitstop!

Koala

This little guy was trying to catch a nap while on display at the Cleavland Metroparks Zoo.

The Dancing Outlaw

A photo with Jesco White, Mamie White and myself at Appalachian Power Park in Charleston, WV. Jesco is a Boone County native that was made popular by his wild and reckless lifestyle captured in the documentery "Dancing Outlaw".

Bobblefoot Billboard

I passed this billboard while in Danville, WV today. Jesco White will be at the Appalachian Power Park on August 4, 2009. They will also be giving away Jesco Bobblefoot dolls to the first 1,000 guests. See you there...
