One website that should definitely be on your radar if you're a lover of local history and unusual stories is Whiteway Corner. Named for the landmark building at the corner of Park and King that houses several local boutiques, businesses and restaurants, the website features a rich array of historical and contemporary photos, postcards and historical ephemera, as well as links to local news, events and websites. Particularly noteworthy is the video series that highlights some of the district's more eclectic residents, including Tom McCleery of Edge City, Blackie the Dog, and Joe and Nancy Brown, the "Waving Couple," who've dedicated an hour each day to waving to residents from their Riverside corner for the past 20 years. Check out their story below; it's a wonderful introduction to what makes our neighborhood so great.
