The ‘door’ this week is a little unusual in that we couldn’t get a good photo of the door for a mixture of reasons.
- Bad angle.
- The entrance to doors was cordoned off.
- Directly above the doors you see was a huge restaurant window with people starring at my husband. I’m sure they were wondering what shenanigans we were up to. So we snapped the pic and casually backed away like good citizens. I’m convinced that one day, we door photographers will be infamous and revered. Til then……
But there’s more this week. We had a little history lesson on the street corner next to this set of doors.
There was this marker honoring a distinquished citizen, Leo A. Beuerman
You can see how small he is as he sits next to this tractor.
The plaque reads,
“Remember Me -I’m that little man gone blind. I used to sell pencils on the street corner.”

What a lovely story!

He certainly was tiny but very enterprising, selling pencils on the street. Those diners in the restaurant must have thought there was a celebrity among them, with you trying to sneak a photograph, Lol!

Nice post. Hey, you did the best you could with that door shot. Sometimes the conditions are not ideal but we door aficionados can cope with any obstacle to get our shot 😉
