Just noticed from the banner’s date that this is left over from last year – I took this on Monday, May 30, 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

As some of you may recall from the previous post (https:\/\/iaintjustmusic.bobleafe.com\/?p=16421<\/a><\/span>), I had been on a bus earlier that day that got detoured around Cedar Lane. From a block away on Beverly Rd, I took this PANO shot as we crossed Garrison Ave:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

I had never see bounce houses on Garrison Ave before, so I went back on a very hot afternoon to see what was going on.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was the Teaneck Memorial Day Street Festival from Elm Ave (by J&J Drugs) to American Legion Drive (by whatever\u2019s on that street these days\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026..oh yeah – Stop&Shop).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Starting at Cedar & Elm:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Having crushed the DPW truck, I proceeded eastward. I decided to take mostly panoramic pictures rather than shooting every single booth:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

An Elm to Garrison PANO shot:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A better Elm to Garrison shot with the Teaneck Theater in the middle (and NO – I’m not calling it “Teaneck Cinemas”):<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The booth with the blue-and-white covering was the only booth I visited. It had ALL kinds of cellphone cases, but didn\u2019t have what I was looking for. I think the guy on the first bicycle was looking for a booth that could sell him a new front wheel and tire:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

His friend may need a new back wheel\/tire. And they both appear to need lots of food (check out those legs). But not to worry………..their (and their bikes’) problems are the result of me panning left-to-right while they’re moving right to left. It’s the same compressed effect that you get when you pan L-R with R-L-moving vehicles: squashed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wanna look skinny in pictures? Gimme a yell……….<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These are two shots I didn\u2019t need to PANO. Interesting-looking outfit\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I finally reach Garrison Ave. to take sort of a reverse pic from shot #2 (above) that I took from the bus:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And here are the bounce houses:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Standing at Garrison and Cedar, I\u2019m facing Bischoff\u2019s – where I once worked a million years ago – and a motorcycle cop with another weird front wheel. You think that\u2019s strange? According to his bike, he\u2019s a poceman<\/em> instead of a policeman. He didn\u2019t look like he was in the mood to hear me point that out:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Across Cedar – on the corner of Chestnut (and next to Rocklin\u2019s) – was a setup for musical entertainment. Due to the beating-down-sun, only the chairs in the shade were occupied:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is almost an end-to-end shot:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Because of the heat, this truck probably had more customers than any other booth:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The eastern end at American Legion Drive:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now, the walk back to my car, which was parked about one block beyond the horizon:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Leftover shot<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

After seeing this sign and photographing it, I started looking around for a dunk tank and a wet clown – nada:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It turns out that this was for a multiple water pistol carnival game that was something like this (I didn\u2019t shoot it\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.the photo OR the water pistol):<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Although it looked like the festival was sparsely-attended, I recall seeing an online photo from the previous year that looked much more populated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gotta be the heat.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And so ends my one day out in stifling hot weather this year………….I hope.<\/span><\/p>\n
