Local Curiosities III

I went down to Wickford, Rhode Island with some friends the other day.  Who knew it was so beautiful?  An amazing collection of 18th and 19th century homes in a beautiful waterfront setting.  This gorgeous Baptist church was there, built in 1816.

And here's something I've never seen before.  A Chia bear.  The sign tells you in case there is any confusion.

Also, some exciting local news.  Here's the old Poirier diner, originally in the Eagle Square area of Atwells Avenue, about to be lowered onto its new resting place at 1380 Westminster Street.  It will be a diner and I am so excited because it is just across the park from me!

And here, a few steps away, you can buy human hair.

Here are some pics of young Clovis sleeping in the winter sun.
