We’d seen this Italian restaurant under construction in the new section of the Spotsy mall called the “Village at Towne Centre.” My expectations weren’t high—it’s yet another “plastic menu” chain. With an exterior that looks like it wou…
This weekend I had the opportunity to visit an indie film lover’s landmark, our countries longest continuously operating art cinema, The Paris in New York City. Sandwiched between The Plaza and Bergdorf Goodman’s, this grand dam’s marquee faces Central Park and has premiered the best independent films since 1948. Debuting in the United States this […]
Yep! Storms and a chase of sorts happened. I noticed on radar a nice looking cell crossing northern Stafford county that appeared to be turning right – a good sign of severity – as it neared the Potomac River so I pointed the chasemobile to the n…
A few showers rolled through the area early yesterday afternoon, preempting later convection that may otherwise have been more vigorous. Tired from a very busy weekend, I first headed out with the intention of just stopping at a local school park…
This is completely silly, but too funny. Thanks to my wife for sending it to me! Originally published at AndrewFlusche.com. © 2010 Andrew Flusche. Sometimes You Have to Laugh
Not the weekend review, the post about HSDads.com. That was my 5000th post to this blog. It was such a significant event that I didn’t even notice until 2 weeks later.
It was one of those weekends that makes going back to work on Monday look like a break. Friday night Breck and I checked out History at Sunset, a program by the National Park Service here in Fredericksburg. I deeply regret somehow missing out on this prior to this year. Every Friday night during the […]

About twice a week during nice weather, my husband and I head downtown for a walk. The neighborhoods of downtown Fredericksburg are at their best this time of year, with everyone’s gardens in bloom. And many downtowners take their landscaping very seriously. I’m not much of a gardener, and my property is entirely shaded, so even when I’m lucky enough to be able to grow some woodland plants, there’s not much color there. So I love the sunny little gardens of downtown. Even among the front yards that are postage stamp tiny, you’ll find many that are chock-full of blooms. This past week, we paid special attention to the yards on Wolfe Street, between Caroline and Spottswood.
The first garden is at the corner of Princess Anne. The gardener is hard at work at the center. From there, it was just a few steps to the next garden, where every square inch of front yard was filled with hydrangea and daylilies (also at top).
A tiny side garden:
I can’t resist a white picket fence:
Near the end of the block, close to Spottswood.
Wolfe Street is home to the Wegner Metal Arts Foundry & Gallery, between Kenmore and Jackson, where the block gets more industrial.
I couldn’t pass up this truck in a parking lot off Wolfe. I’ve never given much thought to horse’s teeth, but now I’m wondering if there are cow dentists and pig dentists and goat dentists, too.
