Wednesday afternoon in Shadyside on Walnut Street.
The colors in the Ten Toes Shoe Store window caught my attention as we were making our way to the Shadyside Variety Store.

Dinner at The Olde Bar on Walnut Street
Our hotel, a short block away- The Olde Bar has been here a year- where the Philadelphia institution Bookbinders was for more than a century.
“Set in the Old Original Bookbinders, Jose Garces’ saloon offers seafood, a raw bar & retro drinks.”
I had the New England clam chowder, which was very good. And the Fish and Chips. The chips cooked in beef fat. I asked why they were so tasty!
The shiny dark wooden bar was built in the late 1800’s and shipped in the forties from a Nevada ghost town, according to the bartender. Little candles flickering add ambiance.
Original floors, original leaded windows.
You can see the raw bar with the oysters resting on crushed ice below

Pug Guard Dog in Shadyside Shop Window
Yesterday was a very happy birthday and thanks for the emails, cards and nice comments! Laura baked a homemade angelfood cake and it was delicious. We had strawberries on it and some vanilla ice cream. James grilled out bison burgers and bratburgers, some tomato mozzarella salad and broccoli slaw.
You know how dog lovers have their specific breed they prefer? (Right Sarah and Amber?) And my cousins and their dachshunds and the Payer/McGraths and their Airedales. Laura and James have gone Golden Doodle. I know Debbie loves Golden Retrievers. Anyway, it’s a theme I’ve examined before. My animals in the city series. E and I were walking on Walnut Street after a summer breakfast last week and we stumbled upon this pug in the shop window. I think she was snoozing on the job!
