Townhouses in Baltimore are called 'row houses,' and this is a perfect example of how neighborhoods cooperate, by coordinating colors!

I'm sad to read in many places that people don't listen to radio that much, preferring podcasts for news and information, and their own mp3 collections for music. Back in the day, the pride of every home was the big console radio in the living room. A man happened to find this old relic in the crawl space of a house he bought, and he refurbished and repurposed it to hold knick-knacks...and a radio.
Springtime on the farm. Time to get the corn crops planted!
What's more American than a free stack of "dog stiks" (sic)? Such a fetching idea!
And how about this community pantry for canned goods and a Frigidaire for fresh meat and produce? People can give and take, according to ability and need. How nice!
A solid favorite in every diner and luncheonette: the club sandwich. I have belonged to many a club over the years, and no one ever handed me a tall three-decker.
Some emotions cut across the lines. Is there a mom out there who hasn't looked out on the world with this wistful vista?
Famous Hats In History: this is the Texas Rangers cap that José Canseco wore on May 26, 1993. It was on that day that Carlos Martínez of the Indians hit a fly ball to right field, where Canseco's steroid-riddled body was stationed, for the purpose of catching fly balls. Maladroit as ever, José allowed the ball to hit him on his head, right off the dome of this very cap, for a home run. There were two immediate results: the Harrisburg Heat soccer team offered Canseco a contract to play a game where headers are allowed and encouraged, and three days later, José talked his manager into allowing him to pitch in relief in a game long lost. José injured his arm in this effort and had to undergo Tommy John surgery, missing the rest of the season. Always a good sport, Canseco sold the dented cap to a collector and continued on his erratic life path.
If you can spend $425,000 on it, this house in Siler City, NC, can be yours. It once was owned by a television actress who lived there in a peculiar fashion, keeping 14 cats in the house and a broken-down Studebaker with 4 flat tires in the garage. She was known as warm and welcoming to some fellow Siler Citizens, and reclusive and aloof to others. But she left an annuity of $100,000 to the local police department, which they banked, and still use to distribute Christmas bonuses to officers and staffers alike, just a way to thank the cops for keeping fans away from the home of Frances Bavier, Andy Griffith's beloved Aunt Bee.
