- What's happening to Lowe's hill? on Nov 26, 2009 in hillsides
The cut in the hillside made when Lowe's set up shop in Prescott is a very visible eyesore. And not just when you're tooling down SR69 in the vicinity of the big box. This picture is taken from a hill to the west of Park Avenue, for heaven's sake!A c...
- Where were those birds headed? on Nov 25, 2009 in ravens
