that every new person you meet reminds you of someone else :-) Ogden Nash

I generally don't post more than one image a day, but access to my office computer, where my images are stored and backed up daily, may be limited over the weekend by a snowstorm which is blanketing our area of north carolina this evening and expected to continue through tomorow. weather permitting, perhaps i can get some rare winter wonderland captures, but if not, what a great opportunity to catch up with my flickr friends. have a great weekend, take care :-)

waverly place, the shopping center across the street from my office condo parking lot, ( where this photo was taken), is scheduled to be razed and replaced by upscale office and residential condos as well as high end, trendy shopping destinations. ok, boys and girls, can anyone say higher property taxes.

for those of you who do not know or perhaps have forgotten, the waverly place shopping center was the location of the award winning home made doritos commercial which was shown during the 2007 super bowl. i watched them film a bit. it was certainly odd seeing someone on rollerblades with a video camera.
