It is a really nice place. It has become a part of the Pokémon craze…it’s on some kind of a map. Since I don’t play it, I’m not sure about all the ins and outs of it.
We weren’t either, but just a week or two ago, we once again noticed people walking around the area with their phones…many times in groups. Last year, when the craze was at its peak, one day at Red Bank we could hardly find a parking spot.
There is only one person I know who might get caught up in Pokemon, and she lives in Denmark. Next time we’re in Waynesville, I’m going to look around Main Street and see if I see anyone acting crazy.
Kathy,
You mentioned it in your reply comment to me yesterday and that’s when I went to take a second look- I can see the river and a few buildings of Philly- it may be a good 10 kilometers down, don’t you think ?
Yes, it looks pretty far in the distance, but I don’t think it is that far. It would be the south of Philadelphia…past the airport. Not sure if it is the city proper. The skyline of buildings would be several miles to the right.
MINDING MY P'S WITH Q 
Super pretty!

The craze seems to be slowing down now. My grandsons enjoy collecting the cards.

Learnt some more history by googling Ann Whithall- brave woman of her times.
And the building is amazingly preserved.

Good eyes Susie, I had to go back to take a look. I didn’t realize I captured it. Kathy
