Riverwalking Notes

It's a rainy day today, perfect for sitting in the office with a cup of hot chocolate from the Starbucks in the Campus Center.

Yesterday, though, it was a great day to stroll up the brick walkway along the river. On my way there I noticed some progress on the Coopers Grant project. The foundation has been dug and some concrete is in place. With the warmer weather the fisherman are back. I counted 6 or 7 fishing poles and at least one family group out to see what they could catch. The Delaware River itself was calm. Construction is nearly complete on the new building next to the aquarium and a sign is up announcing space for lease. Small children and parents trying to keep up with them were in evidence outside the aquarium but no school groups in sight. On my way back I exchanged greetings with one of the friendly employees of Miss G's convenience store. Three college kids were playing frisbee on the lawn of the Walt Whitman Cultural Center. The new benches along the walkway there are very nice.

It was an early spring day in Camden and people are starting to get out and enjoy the weather.
