What’s Up in the Neighborhood, January 6 2024

Hi everybody, we’ve got a snowstorm coming into the area, so make sure you purchase the necessary staples to get through it – you know, milk, bread, toilet paper and sugar free Red Bull. Oh, and clean off your ENTIRE car when you drive in a snowstorm, don’t be that bonkbrain who lets a big plume of snow fly off your roof and clobber the driver behind you. 

But before you do any of that … it’s time for the Saturday recap of my personal blogroll. Check out these great articles and photos and thoughts from my fellow bloggers and photographers.
