Corning NY November 1, 2013

Roses don't bloom in cold weather, do they? This one did--on October 1--and there are still some blooming in sheltered locations even today, on November 2.

When I first started this blog about the unexpected attractions of Corning, I was casually taking photos on my daily walks. The blog evolved over time and someone suggested I offer more words to accompany each photo, which I've done most times.

I've been struggling with whether or not to continue this blog. What started out as a desire to have fun taking and sharing photos has turned into pressure to produce certain themes, regular postings and to learn more about my cameras.

I've seriously thought of closing down this blog and may still make that choice. But, first I'll be attempting to get myself back on track. Back to where I truly enjoy what I'm doing... the entire process, not just trying to please my readers.

It was several minutes before I realized that this service dog, accompanying the woman in front of me, was laying under the bus seat and had stretched itself out so it extended back into my area.

Transportation Center, Wineglass Marathon And More

Corning has a new transportation center on Dennison Parkway, between Wall and Cedar Streets. Various local and area busses will be picking up and dropping off passengers here instead of in the several different locations on Tioga Avenue. Some air conditioning or heat while waiting, public restrooms, lots of comfortable seating, and possibly snack machines will be a welcome change for riders. I don’t know for sure, but am guessing that long distance busses such as Trailways and Greyhound will also use this facility.

At the west end of that same block, a parking lot. Seen here Aniello’s Pizzeria and Glaswerk Optical.

Steuben...

Wall of Fame...

I have a feeling that Wineglass Marathon preparations start soon after the previous year's event.

Market Street shopper in front of VanHeusen. Oh, that’s my daughter! :)

My daughter, my grandsons and I stopped for homemade ice cream in a brand new shop on Market Street ~ Dippity Do Dah.

Roaming around Corning

More photos taken with my iPad Mini. The first two and the last photo were taken using the Hipstamatic App. Also, on the last photo, I used my iPhoto editing capabilities and changed the coloring to sepia.

The first photo, above, is yet another shot of the Benjamin Patterson Inn on Pulteney Street. I never tire of taking photos there and when my son is next in town, I plan to drag him there to join me (and further instruct me) in taking photos of the inn, the log cabin and other areas of the property with Hipstamatic (which he has on his iPhone).


East Market Street used to continue on past Wall Street. Now it stops there and can be continued on foot or, as in this case, on bicycles, past the Radisson Hotel, the Social Security Offices, the Southeast Steuben County Library and the city skating rink.

Delicate little roses outside the Radisson...

Facing west you can see the corner of Wall and Market Streets...

Pips...

There's been a barber shop on Market Street in this spot for a long, long time. Reasonable prices and friendly banter. Like many other establishments on the street, they offer free access to their WiFi. I given you a link that will give you a bit of history on the shop.
