'Circle of Friends' memory: Pounding the Pavement for Pink in 2014


On Saturday I posted a 2019 Seymour Pink 5K memory; today a photo from the 2014 event popped up in my Facebook memories.

St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Shop in Derby posts sales for this week


Where your shopping literally helps us buy food for our pantry! Doesn't get any better than that!

And nothing's so satisfying as filling your mini cart with fun thrift shop treasures - that won't lighten your wallet!

From the 'Turnback Tuesday' archives: The Bassett House in Derby


This week's "Turnback Tuesday" shows one of Derby's showcase hotels, The Bassett House. 

It was located at the corner of Elizabeth and Fourth Streets next to the Sterling Opera House. It burned down in 1914 and was replaced by the Clark Hotel.
