Veteran's Weekend

Here are some vets setting up chairs for a ceremony in Northampton's Pulaski Park in their honor.



The rising sun comes shining through the front windows of the Haymarket Cafe this morning.



At noon it was so nice that I was sitting outside at Raos in Amherst without even a coat on.



There are three main coffee houses in downtown Amherst. Amherst Coffee is where the power players gather to cut their deals. Raos is for academics, with everyone sitting and staring at computers. The Loose Goose is for the farmers and other year round residents.

You might think I spend all my free time in coffee houses. Well hey, it beats my Pine Point Cafe years, but the truth is I do go to other places as well. Like hamburg joints, such as this wonderful new one that opened in Amherst recently.



The burgers are great and the prices are low, so who could ask for more? It's located in the old Newbury Comix, now unrecognizably transformed into a kitchen, although the beautiful old hardwood floor remains.



A psychedelic truck at the Amherst Survival Center.



A colorful new mural in the UMass Student Union features the names of Valley towns.
