Our first snowfall for winter of 2016-2017 was yesterday. Some pictures tell most of the story.
Freaky Freakfest preparation
Madison’s Freakfest Halloween celebration is just starting as I publish this post. Here are a few photos that got snapped as I was traversing State Street hours before this classic event.
Orpheum Theater restoration progress
The renovation of the Orpheum Theater is progressing. While photographing this beautiful theater yesterday, I met Gus Paras, the owner who is sinking millions of his own money to restore the Orpheum to its original 1927 luster. We only chatted briefly but he was nice. I personally thanked him for doing the renovation, although I am sure a large number of Madisonians will also be thankful.
The theater itself is beautiful, and the inside is even more amazing, being an Art Deco style theater. I have seen a number of classic film works here such as the original Star Wars film, Star Trek 11, etc. The Orpheum is a true Madison icon.
Orpheum Theater progress
There has been progress recently in restoring the Orpheum Theater. This photo, taken last week, shows the sign being worked on.
Classic Car Show on State Street
Early June has brought the car show called Cars on State. Once again I found myself attending and also I remembered to bring my camera.
I talked to many people and it was incredibly friendly. There was (probably) a somewhat reduced turnout due to the possibility of rain.
