We have a "Whirly Bird"

Yay!  First Whirly Bird of the season!  Thanks, Donna!

Yep, pretty much.  Stops have been eliminated along the downtown portions of Main Street, Broad Street, St. Paul Street/South Avenue and Clinton Avenue.  I used to get off the bus at the corner of Main and St. Paul Streets in the morning.  My bus's gate at the transit center is now located very near Clinton Avenue, so that has added a couple of blocks to my walk into work in the morning.  Not too bad.  I doubt that the closing of this Tim Horton's is just because of the transit center, though.  I think the weather this winter has been a factor (I know I and most of my co-workers did not walk outside that much in sub-zero weather), as has the opening of a Dunkin Donuts just a couple blocks away on State Street. 

Hah-hah!   

Great minds, Carol.   

 

Too sad to even contemplate.   

It's the RTS Transit Center that just opened at the end of November in the blocks between St. Paul Street and Clinton Avenue.  It's a downtown bus hub, which means they've closed the majority of the bus stops that were located along Main Street, St. Paul Street and Clinton Avenue.  That includes a formerly popular bus stop near Tim Horton's.

I thought so, Kris!  You're welcome.  I was watching the program and was so excited when I saw it.  Now she's famous.  

A Genesee County NY snowy owl made the big time on CBS Sunday Morning's Moment of Nature this morning:

YAY!!!!!  He just migrated a bit late, I guess!!!!   

This is just too freakin' funny.  Either this female is not easily impressed or she's just really hungry.

Then it was Beauty's turn!

Of course, she had to correct everything he did because he didn't do it right. 

Hopefully they'll all be relocated at another Tim Horton's. I went there probably a couple of times per week, and always found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. I wonder what will go into that spot.  I remember there was an Atlanta Bread Co. there at one time, and it was a Bruegger's Bagels before Atlanta Bread Co.   

  Have a wonderful birthday, Donna, and I hope you're feeling better!!!   

Watchers have lost a bathroom, a coffee source and, perhaps most importantly, an oatmeal raisin cookie source.  There's always Tim Horton's at the library, I guess.
