Statue of Jimi Hendrix at Broadway and Pine on Capitol HillReading the news from afar, I get the feeling there is some sort of haze over the Queen City lately, maybe not purple, maybe some other swirling dark shade. So many issues unresolved and so few clues on how to proceed! Before I left for Seattle, someone said it was up to the bloggers to take action. Others say more citizens must take action. But action on what? Can citizens or bloggers make a CFO appear in City Hall or get the budget passed in a timely fashion?
Well, I certainly worry about such things, but being on vacation, I must also take a break from worries. What better spot than the Volunteer Park Dahlia Garden? Take a look at the slide show below. You too can marvel at the magnificent trees that tower over the garden and then move in close to see dahlias in a mesmerising display of shapes and colors, all grown and maintained by members of the Puget Sound Dahlia Association.

Thanks to the PSDA members for making their corner of the Northwest more lovely. In weeks and months to come, I'm sure Plainfielders - singly and jointly - can come up with ways to make the Queen City better. What do you think?

Yes let's hear it for the drug saturated media icons. Make fun of the "Beaver's" type parents, but those kids are at least alive today.
ReplyDeletePlainfield has always been in a haze. Nothing new about that.
ReplyDeleteThings just contunue to get worse and taxes keep going up and up.
If I could leave, I would. Today.
Bernice, stay there. Don't come back. We will ship your cat to you.
ReplyDeleteTo 7:57 AM, no disrespect, but you should go. We need people in Plainfield who see the potential, care about it and are willing to put time and effort into making it a better place - and people who VOTE.
ReplyDeleteI hope you find your better place. I live in Plainfield and feel that I have found mine.
I wish we could have public art in Plainfield..it's always so interesting to go into city's that have public art everywhere..gives something for the eye and mind to discover on those random strolls. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI want out too. Plainfield is a dump. Only those who cannot live elsewhere live here.
ReplyDeleteTo all of you who want to leave an cannot afford it - Newark and Camden are right up your alley. Affordable and not Plainfield.
