New stuff always energizes me. Not in a materialistic sense though. Over the years I have given up making resolutions for the new year because even though I may be gung-ho about a particular idea, the excitement over whatever I’m planning to start fizzes out really quickly, hence my numerous art projects laying all over my beautiful apartment.
I’m back to learning more about my city and took a walk through the Entertainment District and the Fashion District. If you follow the links there is lots of information about the stores, restaurants and theatres that are in there just waiting to be discovered!
These limo drivers must be COLD
It was definitely a cold day today with the fake sun rising in the east and then disappearing soon after noon because it was lying to us anyway. The limo drivers who park here in the morning (probably driving some fat cat condo executives) were puffing furiously at their cigarettes trying to find warmth. With their clothes and cars though, they’d be better suited to finding some classical music to driver their cars in concert to in the parking lot. Poor guys.
Le what?!
There is this weird intersection close to my place that has the weirdest crossing policy. In order to get to the buildings across the street I have to first cross north then east then south. I can’t just cross east. Being the dorky engineer that I am I stood for one cycle of the lights and watched the traffic to attempt to understand this mysterious policy. My mind told me that there must be some traffic flow that I’m not accounting for that makes this unreasonable crossing policy work. However, when the little white man made his appearance on the North side of the crossing, no traffic was moving except that in the east west direction making it possible for people to cross on the North side AND the South side…. maybe I need to look again.
Fake plant/wall thing
I am of the opinion that if you are building something that requires the purchase of lots of plastic greenery for a wall, you probably don’t need it. Especially if you are a “green” company.
Are those undies?
Right across from the green wall was this blue building with a balcony that, no doubt, hosts a multitude of people when the weather is nice. So you can imagine that with temperatures below freezing, they’re not really making big bucks. What was interesting was seeing all the rugs, or undies or whatever hanging from the balistrade of the balcony. I’m sure we’re all going to applaud them in the summer for saving energy, but in the winter undies cannot dry outside!
May I taste your ware?
Watch out now...
My days escapades didn’t take me far into the fashion district and I believe I barely saw what needed to be seen, BUT I believe it needed to be mentioned.
W T F?!
My day was over and my journey home had begun. As I waited for the street car I saw this banner. WTF?
Happy New Year T Dot!
