Empty Swimming Pool

Kurtsman Swimming pool in pasco near 20th avenue. Its a really fun spot for the kiddos to go during the summer. Pasco has a lot of little parks instead of just a few big ones. I think they do this so that all of the children can have a place to play, no matter what. That is pretty swell.

They also have a few larger parks like Chiawana Park which lines the Columbia River. It still has one of those spinny things the kids can ride on, you know the ones that a lot of places have banned. I hope no fuddy duddy ever takes it away because it is fun! I will have to get some photos for my faithful readers. Since there are so many!!!

Willy Express

a fun looking restaurant downtown near the farmers market. specializing in tortas, tacos and burritos.

Pasco Bulldog Mural

This mural of a dog with a pitchfork appeared sometime during my highschool career. It is painted on the side of a portable classroom, one that is used for agricultural science. I always thought that it was kind of a scary dog, what with the muscley arms and the human legs. I actually took an ag science class in the portable right next door to this wonderful display of artful pride. I thought I was taking that science class because it was the easiest, but it has actually turned out really useful to me lately. The 5 or 6 things I learned over the 2 year course have actually helped me a lot as I start to plan out my garden this year. Cheers to pasco high! hip hip hooray!

Coach Dong Ln

A road going into Pasco High is called Coach Dong Ln. Coach Dong is the tennis coach at Pasco High and has been since before I went there. He is famous for the phrase "milk shake them" which basically means to hit the other team with the ball, then drink a milkshake.

To the left you can see the tennis courts and in the distance there is the Pasco Les Schwab. Pretty exciting stuff.

Starlite Motel

Starlite Motel. Located over by the train tracks behind the airport. I have never stayed there, but its been there as long as I can remember. Its just up the street from Irrigation Specialists. We were over there browsing some possible sprinkler options when I decided to take a snap shot.
