Thanks to everyone for their well wishes! Amanda has been pretty consistently sick since finding out she was pregnant, but it’s been getting progressively worse over the past week. Today, a quick call to the doctor won her a free (co-pay not included) trip in for an exam. Two urine tests later, they determined she…
Mike asked what everyone’s five favorite concert experiences were. It was hard to narrow it down, but here are mine: 5. Jethro Tull/Emerson, Lake, and Palmer – Darien Lake, 8/18/96 – I got tickets at the last minute after convincing my Dad to go with me and we got fifth row seats. Truthfully, I could…
Anyone that drives a vehicle has seen the sudden drop in gas prices. And anyone that follows financial markets knows this is because of how fickle the global oil market is. It goes up when anything threatens the supply of oil. That can be terrorism, weather, geopolitical tensions, mechanical failures… anything. Many people believed that…
Amanda and I had the opportunity to go with Chris Byrd and Mike Miller of Broadway-Fillmore Alive to visit the former Sears building on that corner. Here’s a series of photos of the Broadway/Fillmore area taken from the roof. Keep an eye on BFA’s site to see some photos of the Sears building itself. BFA…
Variety Club is holding a fundraising Halloween Party at the Terminal on Saturday October 28th, 6pm-midnight. This isn’t a CTRC-sponsored event, we’re just renting out the building, but I like to share all events going on at the Terminal. 🙂
Hi! I write you for different reasons. The first one to tell you I enjoyed your pics from Belgium. I went there last year and I think it’s an awesome place. The other reason is because we share the same lastname, this is: Punaro. I am mexican, and back there all the people that share this lastname are the descendents of the late Mr. José Asuncion Punaro (this is my grandfather from my mother’s side). The funny thing is that we don’t know the origen of the Punaro name. So, each time I have a chance, I seach to see if by any chance I find a clue. Some time ago I was told it is from northen Italy. Do you have an idea? Thank and hope you don’t bother for using this space that I imagine it’s reserved for your family and close friends.
The name does originate in Italy. Somewhere, I have some images of Ellis Island records of my ancestors coming over to the U.S. I’ll post them when I have a chance. I do not know where the Mexican branch would have started!
