T.J. Fantini: Christmas 2002
It was December 2002 when T.J. Fantini hit the stage for the annual Christmas tree lighting hosted by the Anacortes Chamber of Commerce.

Mission accomplished
Back in the day (in this case, 2007), we used to enjoy the annual visit of this gentleman farmer and his antique tractor with grass cutter in tow. He worked a field on “O” Avenue. Here he is pictured moving through our neighborhood toward Longview Avenue, and ultimately to his place on 32nd Street.

Canoe Pass kayaker: 2004
This was a good day. The sun was just right when a group of kayakers in training approached Canoe Pass. I managed to get the car parked in time to catch a number of photos of the kayakers practiced moves including rolling their kayaks. Ultimately they headed off to make the turn toward Bowman Bay. […]
Gone but not forgotten
Many Anacortes residents and ferry travelers have fond memories of these two west side restaurants: Charlie’s and Billy Ray’s (once Compass Rose). Both restaurants have long since closed. Gone but not forgotten.
