I turned off Beech Street because of the carpet of blue.

There are two trees, one on either side of the alley, both with bright blue plums, round and just larger than large grapes. They are tasty.

The trees are heavy with fruit and need scavenging. Much of the fruit, if not most of it, leans over the fences and into the alley.

so… the rash of chalk notes (along with the bike silhouette on the driveway on 15th) have me remembering when i used to carry sidewalk chalk and trace shadows.

we thought at one point that we could play a game with chalk, a bunch of people, and corners on the city grid. not a someone-wins type game, but patternmaking. never got very detailed, though, in envisioning it.

Ack! my neighborhood is really King. “Alberta Arts District” is so… so… trendy realtor-marketing-speak. I hear there’s a Mississippi Arts District now too. Pretty soon there’ll be a Williams/Vancouver Arts District… and this extrapolation could go on to either silly conclusions or dismal ones.

But i love where i live, i do. I’m not sure what i’ll do when the developers force the clown house out, but they’re a canary for me.
