Spring wanderings
May. 4th, 2014 02:17 pmAfter spending the winter being cooped up inside I was eager to get out of the city and explore the countryside. Last weekend and 2 weekends ago I spent some time wandering through the Finger Lakes area. I had seen on the local news that there was a large fire in the little town of Ovid, between Seneca and Cayuga Lakes. Ovid is a pleasant and picturesque 19th century town that I have always liked. The fire wiped out most of a block of 19th century commercial buildings in Ovid's center, so I headed toward Ovid to see the damage.

The fire gutted an Italian restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, a thrift shop and a couple of other small businesses and offices, plus the apartments that were over them. It was started by an 11 year old boy playing with a cigarette lighter near empty cardboard boxes behind the stores. Fortunately no one was injured.
