Originally uploaded by franksutter. My hometown of Staunton, Virginia is undergoing a renaissance of sorts these days, ever since they built the replica of the Blackfriars Playhouse to house a Shakespeare theater troupe. This old Coca-Cola sign was hidden behind a billboard for years before being rediscovered not long ago. One of my ongoing projects is to document Staunton over time to mark its changes.

Dr Hunter S. Thompson. Hunter S. Thompson. Originally uploaded by franksutter. Posted by Walt Opie @ 12:59 PM. Slate Article about Staunton and the WRE program. I was quite surprised to open an article in Slate.com today and read the following:. The ironic aspect of this is that both sides really want to do the right thing. My side thinks let the educators do what they've been trained to do. Religion should be handled in the home and church. The other side really thinks they are saving souls&...BOTTOM OF...

Walt Opie: John Updike (1932 - 2009)
http://waltopie.blogspot.com/2009/01/john-updike-1932-2009.html
John Updike (1932 - 2009). John Updike, the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist, prolific man of letters and erudite chronicler of sex, divorce and other adventures in the postwar prime of the American empire, died Tuesday at age 76.

US Airways Asks Workers to Work for Free. Wow, now US Airways is asking its employees to work for free (i.e. volunteer) over the upcoming New Year's weekend. Here is a quote from today's New York Times:. Still, how can they expect workers to work for free over this upcoming holiday weekend? When did airlines become charities? I guess after 9/11. Obviously it is time for the airlines to rethink how they do business. Meanwhile, US Airways may have to liquidate by mid-January, no joke. Oh well, I survived&#...

Originally uploaded by franksutter. When I'm at work (in downtown San Francisco) I sometimes walk around during my lunch break and shoot random photos. This image gives me some weird, intangible satisfaction. Somebody commented that reflected images have a surreal quality. I find that the black, dark space in the middle of this image is even more mysterious to me. And I like the lady's patterned skirt. Posted by Walt Opie @ 11:00 AM. Originally uploaded by franksutter.
