going downtown

We went for a walk at lunch today. Well, we try to do it every day I'm in Easton.

Today we decided to walk downtown and get some food. The cupboard is bare at my house, even though I bought $100 worth of groceries over the weekend.

It's just over a half-mile to the Third Street Café. (Two thumbs up!) but it's a steep hill going down to get there. You guessed it. Up is just as bad! I made it up without stopping at a very quick pace!

While we were walking I saw this in the sidewalk. I'm a graphic designer and it made me stop. Look at the typography! (Cooper Black, I believe.) Also, the craftsmanship. Someone thought highly of their work to embed brass plates in a sidewalk. A hundred years later they are still there, and the side walk is not broken! I guess they made great cement in Coplay.

While walking we planned a few new routes to downtown and back...without the lunch stop.
