16 photos from the EV Grieve archives for no reason whatsoever

A time-consuming project. I have thousands and thousands of photos from the time with this website (as well as many more spanning the years). They're all safely backed up and what not (in the cloud, man!).

However, the photos aren't organized. So I've been indexing the photos by subjects ("Abandoned toilets in the trash" or, say, "Woo.")

During all this, I found a few photos from the EVG archives that I like for one reason or another. I've posted a few of these. Others are new to the site.

    Fabulous. My favorite is the chair on the sidewalk -- the white shoe makes it.

    Thanks for posting, Grieve. I love the "big snow" pic--Reminds me how much I enjoy just wandering down the middle of the quiet streets before they're cleared.

    This would be fun to once a month, quarter, often?
    That shot down Ave A has a lot of the feeling that Bob A. had in his PICS.
