East Bay and Boston Friends
Taken a look at East Bay lately? We have the Pearman and Grace memories - and
our Boston friends working to make this a memorable part of the Charleston
scene. What we have is the beginning of a nice park area. The city has
already put up a sign showing where to park if you are a jogger. We have
the Pearman and Grace monuments. Next we need a water fountain, a couple
of park benches and this part of the Charleston will have new life.
Here is East Bay looking north - all the ingredients for a nice park
Micheal is busy hammering away with his oversized Tonka toy - reducing
the Pearman support between the north and south lanes to dust
A closer look at his hammer and our friendly water man
Look at this - bones and skeletons - and a potential park for
folks, joggers and bicycle folks that Charleston
is beginning to think seriously about
I walked around the back of Michael's 1250 - and there was Ryan - hammering
away at a foundation
From behind Ryan, the Pearman and Grace ramp skeletons looking west
Looking south - Ponch on the left transplanting a few plants
and probably talking with Kathy, his boss
and Ryan taking a break
Another look at the East Bay skeletons looking east
I looped around to Meeting St and found jaws
and the ramp skeletons looking east
Meanwhile, Jack was busy hammering away at the foundation of one of the
Pearman supports -
and Jack again. It was August when I first confused Jack and Michael - and
here it is December - and even without sun glasses, I can recognize them. The
problem is those orange Testa t-shirts and jackets everyone wears - they all
look the same to this old man
and Jack and his hammer - working away
Looking east up the Pearman ramp
