The last two years I have been walking at Walmart's when the time came. This time my alarm to remember to get my phone ready for a shot came when I was heading out to pick up a pizza for supper. This is Paras Pizza. When I was younger this building was a men's clothing store that had a soda fountain counter. I loved to go there and pick up the Sunday paper and get an ice cream cone. Paras Pizza started in the '60s and was more uptown. There last four digits of the phone were backward to ours and we would get phone calls in the middle of the night from drunks. My father got so he just took the orders. When there was a fire in the building where they had the business they moved to this building. Lots of memories here and good pizza.
I got a phone call from work this morning just as I was about to leave. They have asked me to stay home - it is my age I am sure. My boss wasn't sure but we both suspected this. I was anticipating it might happen but was still peeved. I hate staying home so much. Jane and I are going walking at the beach so I can be out of the house a little today.
Interesting to read about this building and the memories it carries for you. It made the image a special one. Frustrating to have to be at home, but likely to be safer in the long run. Will you be able to work from home or is it literally having to take personal days? Hope it's the former and you can keep busy!
What good memories and an unusual looking building.
Stay safe Joan, we are having to self isolate and maybe isolate for up to four months we hear today within the next week or two.
@taffy Probably not going to be able to work from home but I am going to run a Challenge for a week with my Scrapbooking Team. I have set a challenge for the Camera Club to post a picture each day beginning with a letter of the alphabet, suggested to aA connect to make a page each day based on a letter of the alphabet. So thinking I will be very busy as they want me to stay away from work for 2 weeks. I also need to work on the second installment of the Lightroom tutorials I am doing for Anna Aspnes Blog. I have no vacation day so I won't be getting paid but there is something about unemployment in the Federal emergency stuff they just passed and will look into that. Not letting any moss grow under my feet.
@joansmor You can be a model for us all! Chicago is shutting down more each day. I hope all these measures help us flatten the curve and give our responders and health providers a chance to catch up to the numbers who need treatment. Best to you!
That building has had quite the range of uses! Good shot for the World Wide Photo Moment. Glad you're still able to get out and about and enjoy the sun. Stay healthy!
Sounds like you're a survivor Joan - keep connected with your 365 photo friends - there's still beauty out there that we can share - Photography is a way of feeling, of touching and of loving even in the days of social distancing ...
Stay safe Joan, we are having to self isolate and maybe isolate for up to four months we hear today within the next week or two.
