Hat Parade a Hit

Saturday's Hat Parade brought out quite a crowd and hats ranging from basic baseball caps to the absolutely outrageous.

Look here for more photos.

Photo Gallery: VFW Post 666 Bingo Night

A few months ago the good people at VFW Post 666 on the corner of Teller and Main welcomed me in to take some pictures of bingo night. I was hoping to use these photos for the Beacon: One Week of Photography gallery show in September, but I just got too busy to get my act together in time. My apologies to for that -- hopefully this online gallery starts to make up for it.

And speaking of sewage...

Another Dispatch reader sent us these pictures of this overflowing manhole at 70 Dennings Avenue. You can see the toilet paper and solids running down the street into the storm drain and adjacent properties.
