Sherman Sidewalk

In this Dec. 18, 2008, SR file photo, Emma Burke, 12, and Jessica Fortis, 13, ski down the sidewalks on Sherman Avenue in Coeur d'Alene, as snow continued to fall from the massive snowstorm that blanked the region. Though it was only eight days until Christmas, few shoppers braved the conditions in downtown. (Jesse Tinsley/SR file photo)

The scenes on Sherman rearrange
As one-by-one the seasons change.
In winter, it's an empty tomb
In summer, it's a dining room.
