The Federal Building. the "tallest and ugliest" building in town. It's pink!
The Downtown Post Office Annex, where we pick up our mail. PO 23597 should you want to send snail mail.
There is really no way you can tell this is a post office til you get inside.
That's a Taxidermy sign hanging out front, and we haven't been able to find any stuffed animals other than those in the window. A phantom taxidermist, I would say. Another case of poor signage, one of our pet peeves.
This is the bus stop in front of the library and museum. We have spent many rainy mornings at 9:22 waiting for the red line to the Mall, Madison Lumber, Murray's Marine, Safeway, the barber, and places too far to walk to.
We ride for 50 cents each cause we're old. But since Ketchikan got new buses from the Federal Government - don't know that whole story - May is "ride the bus free month".
This is TBC, Tongass Business Center, owned by our good friends Marvin and Lonnie Davis. Marvin is "ambassador" of the Ketchikan Yacht Club, who greeted us so warmly last fall when we arrived in this beautiful city. He is actually the KYC treasurer.
TBC is a well appointed office store, with great art supplies and is located on Dock Street across from the bus stop.
I love this clock, and I'm very excited to say I saw bees pollinating a honeysuckle bush in this little
town square. Marvin says there are a lot of bees here, so good to know in light of the disappearing bees throughout the world.But they didn't show up in the photo. So use your imagination. They were there!
Our grocery store, Tatsuda IGA. "Hometown Proud" is there slogan. They have great steaks and wonderful employees.
This is one of the many totem poles we pass on the way to IGA. I will show you more next blog.
My Captain is snoring and I must get to bed for an early start tomorrow. It's a 40 mile trip and looks like we will have weather.
Stay tuned for more Ketchikan totems, and news from Dora Bay.
luv/jo
