Losing The Battle (t)

The back of a structure on an alley between Main and Center Streets and 6th and 7th Streets. I'm not saying the building is abandoned. Maybe in dire need of repair?

So, I put a new hood ornament on the lawn mower this weekend. It's guaranteed to keep wasps away from me until Winter is over. I took it out for a test run and didn't see a single wasp. I think it's working.

1 negative : glass ; 5 x 7 in. or smaller.

Ellis Island is an island in New York Harbor, within the U.S. states of New Jersey and New York. Owned by the U.S. government, Ellis Island was once the busiest immigrant inspection and processing station in the United States. From 1892 to 1954, nearly 12 million immigrants arriving at the Port of New York and New Jersey were processed there; as many as two-fifths of Americans may be descended from these immigrants. It has been part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument since 1965 and is accessible to the public only by ferry. The north side of the island is a national museum of immigration, while the south side of the island, including the Ellis Island Immigrant Hospital, is open to the public through guided tours.
