Tower Drug, and car racing
Another view of Uhland, just steps away from where I found this trailer.
I am sort of digging Uhland. For one thing, the place was named for a poet.
And also because of the last sentence of the town’s history, offered simply, without detail: Club 21 was burned down due to a car racing accident in 2012.

An alley. Again. Of course.
It’s been a long time since I posted a shot from an alley.
If you think between May 9 and May 15 qualifies as “a long time.”
But, anyway, here’s an alley in the Loop, in Chicago. As alleys go, this is quite tidy.

Street art. Literally.
Ann Arbor is one classy town. Sure, they have this kind of graffiti, but check this out! The painting is Judith and Her Maidservant with the Head of Holofernes, which you probably already recognized as a work by the Italian painting Artemisia Gentilesche.
It’s part of a program called Inside Out from the Detroit Institute of Arts; you can get more information here.

Alley, at dusk
I don’t know what street I was on (Benton Place? Lake Street?). It was in Chicago – I remember that much. I might have been heading east. Unless I was going west, or, you know, one of those other directions that streets go.
But it doesn’t matter. What does matter (at least to me) is how attractive this alley was, with construction scaffolding blocking the light from above and a streetlight highlighting the concrete barrier in the foreground. And, way down on the other street, a lone pedestrian in a bigger hurry than me.
