evergleam

sorry i know christmas is over,

but our local historical museum has an

exhibit of aluminum christmas trees

and my friend denise and i

stopped by to see what is all about.

the historical society says 

it is the states largest collection of classic 1960's aluminum christmas trees.

i bet there is some collector out there 

that has more :)

here is the coveted pink aluminum tree.

don't have a pink tree, you can make

 a silver one pink 

with a pink

canned light as above.

we headed up to the 2nd and 3rd floors looking for more trees,

but they were only on the first floor.

we did however get a nice view of 

the capitol square.

here's a pic of the street on the square to the left of the photo above.

sorry for the glare.

here it is today.

blah, blah, blah.

we noticed a faded sign on the building that is in the previous photo from the 50's.....

do you see it -

barons, department store.

a small remembrance of the good old days.
