If ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with.
Saw this posted by the Duluth Monitor on FB. (Not on FB, I was looking for something else) It's from 109 years ago today. Duluth Monitor's summary: "A Chicago counterfeiter told police he had spent all winter printing money in Duluth."

I think about a skeet I saw on here saying Main Street SE should have always been pedestrianized with no cars. The last time they re-cobbled the street they made parking bays with the granite pavers turned sideways to separate the spaces. It's baked in!
We are learning things from this, such as that bullets photographed at 1/8,000th of a second do not translate to newsprint (NY Times and St. Paul Pioneer Press front pages today)
My guess is Mr. Seawell is steeped enought in the documentary style photo tradition to see fluted streetlamps on the ground and recall a photo like this one from Walker Evans's book "American Photographs"
