Facebook group forms to support saving Exeter's Ioka Theater
A group has come together on the Internet to save a precious Exeter landmark, the Ioka Theater.
A Facebook group spearheaded by Selectman Joe Pace was started to examine ways of saving the Ioka, which recently announced its closing on Dec. 24 after 93 years. What began with a few friends has grown to 300 since late last week.
"On Friday (Nov. 28), I sort of said it would be a shame for the Ioka to go away and become vacant or turn into apartments," Pace said. "It's such a historic landmark and an integral piece of the downtown. It would be a shame. So I started to reach out to friends of mine using the outstanding technology of online networking and this conversation started taking off." (More...)
On Facebook. Join the group.

Slipping Away
Slipping Away, originally uploaded by C0N6R355. This was a rather wierd scene we'd come across a couple of times - the ice that had frozen to a sign overnight would melt come morning and slide off. This is taken right outside of my high school.
