Wine on the Sidewalk

At first glance, you might be wondering just what significance I find in a box of wine sitting on a sidewalk across the street from Centralia's City Hall (and, I might add, kitty-corner from Chronicle headquarters). 

First of all, it's sitting there at 5 p.m. on a Tuesday, about two hours before the City Council meeting. 

Second of all, it's sitting on the Streetscape brick sidewalk. At the Council meeting, one item discussed a $193,000 claim against the city from a gentleman who slipped and fell off one of the faux-brick curbs.

Third, the Chronicle reporters were all just given Nikon D40 cameras to pack around in case we see something worthy of a photo. This was the first applicable opportunity I saw, and I'll keep my eyes peeled for more.

Note: Upon further inspection today, the box turned out to be full of rocks and have a "yard sale" sign on one side. Nevertheless, I like the photo.
