Another failed dream

You know that if there’s a vacant building that’s got a window I can look through, I will do just that. And, further, you know I’ll make a photo while I’m there.

And, so, here I go again.

all good

Well, I’m not convinced. That sign on the right does say “It’s all good.” but the conglomeration of stuff kind of leads me to conclude it may, in fact, not be all good…

Masonic Marmalade

Juxtaposition. That’s what I saw here. And an abandoned building. And a restaurant and lounge that didn’t appear to be in business. And some clouds.  You know, just the usual things that I like to find.

Urban Irony (Christmas Afternoon)

We spent some time on Christmas afternoon walking around the site of the Christmas Day 2020 bombing in Nashville. Even after a year, there is still much work to be done to fix (or demolish, I guess) the buildings that were damaged. The murals here are on the short side of the block that was bombed – they’re painted on plywood that covers where windows used to be.

Christmas usually makes me feel sad, and this scene fed right into my emotions. In front of a mural that says “because you matter you are not alone,” a man sat alone on the cold sidewalk.

Tonight

Meanwhile, tonight at the drive-in movies – nothing will be showing. Please make other plans.
