crescent

David Roberts travelled to the area this morning from Penn to go shopping for his mother, who lives on the crescent.

There was the crescent moon lamp that hung on the wall by my bed in a sky of lipstick shades and makeup brushes that I cut from issues of Allure and Elle.

"It's just unfortunate they went around the crescent to Victoria and a couple of them made it to Limehouse - which is a long way."

Canned crescent dough, improbably, was just right: pliable without tearing, sturdy without getting tough, and still capable of a respectable rise.

It’s part of an area known as Flash Flood Alley, a crescent of land that curves from near Dallas down to San Antonio and then westward.
