A couple weeks ago at Eastside Park, a Burlington Northern Santa Fe engine pulled in a few boxcars from Bunge to do a switcheroo. I do miss the old blue and yellow Santa Fe engines, but I have to admit, these orange dudes are pretty sharp looking. It’s so clean – it looks like a [...]
February, 2006. Eastside park in Emporia. One lonely swing set under a tree. Now there’s a playground. And over yonder to the west is a shelter house (not in picture.) And now, an obelisk. But the memorial isn’t finished yet. More to be done with this. Roger has recorded the obelisk in process, step-by-step.
This is a miniature of the proposed obelisk that Alan Tollakson will be carving for Eastside Memorial Park. The hand will be a theme in the overall memorial which will include the obelisk.
On my way to get gas and drop off some bills, I snapped a few photos around town. Here, ESU women are enjoying the warmish day. Tulips are blooming at 12th and Merchant. Streets are full of bicyclists. Gas is $3.47. I stopped by the Phi Delta Theta house to look at the landscaping now [...]

Recently, a large shelter house was installed at this Ninth Avenue and East Street Park. The shelter still needs some finish work, but it’s up and has a pretty red roof. [...]
We stopped by Eastside Park after the sloppy Joe supper. A locomotive dropped off one chain of cars and on a different track went back for others. Who doesn’t love watching trains? Especially the yellow and blue Santa Fe locomotives (now nearly extinct.)
The concrete floor is in place and a boy on a bike rides in circles.
Drove past yesterday evening (9th & East in Emporia) and most of the red roof of the shelter house is in place.
I drove past the Eastside Park shelter house Friday night. The red roof is being installed.
I drove past the shelter house last night. The wooden roof (ceiling) looks to be completed.
Wooden planks create what will be the ceiling for the shelter house at Eastside (Is it East Side or Eastside?) Memorial Park. A metal roof will cover the wood. Teamwork. One guy cuts wood, the other hammers it into place. The Eastside Park is at Ninth and East Streets in Emporia.
