Our
neighborhood has been transformed in so many ways….Google Buses delivering
techies to and from work in Silicon Valley, new restaurants opening like
mushrooms after a rain, clothing shops that are so high-end that looking at
prices is heart stopping. But, in the midst of it all, a former appliance
repair shop has opened as a flower shop. Really basic and just sort of cleaned
out the former junk. But, the new proprietor was busily painting this marvelous
depiction of flowers on the street yesterday during our summer street festival,
which is called City Streets. For one day, all traffic is removed and the
street is open to bikes and kids and dogs and all manner of street performers.
This fine new addition to our local business certainly made a statement. Brava!
hey that's great; colorful, thoughtful. a delightful slice of mission life!
ReplyDeleteThat festival sounds like fun, Duff. I like city neighborhoods - each has its own flavor. That new flower shop owner is an artist as well as a flower designer. You better buy some posies to keep her in business!
ReplyDeleteI love this about urban neighborhoods. We share similar events in Phoenix that are a joy to explore and romp through.
