In Charleston

31°f/0°C, clear. Light dusting of snow overnight tgat only stuck here and there, and is fast melting.

Our State Capitol building in the fog looked spooky. There are a few ghosts stories connected with it.

Across the Great Kanawha (pronounced KenAW) River, the University of Charleston also looks ghostly.

Closer up, not so much fog

The coal miner tribute sculpture on the Capitol grounds.

and the war memorial.

Behind the restaurant where we had dinner, someone was getting in trouble with the law.

Across the street from the restaurant this window caught my eye.

Dinner was not at the Irish pub, as we had planned; they were closed for a private event. We struck out at other places too. Who knew so many restaurants are closed on Sunday evening? We finally ended up at a place called Kel's Tavern. My smothered chicken was delicious and plentiful, enough for another meal. Larry could not eat all of his club sandwich and homemade fries either. We went into an Italian place across the street first, only to discover it was Muslim-run and so served no beer or wine. This was our Valentine's day celebration so we opted for Kel's, where Larry could have his Guinness and I had my favorite, Chardonnay. But we may try the Italian place again one day.

Murals around town: this one is the work of the late Jupiter Hamilton,  I believe.

I liked this one with the story of West Virginia legend John Henry.

Cute use of the awning!
