Afternoon in Andersonville
Have stacks of old National Geographics? Feeling crafty?
(this was taken inside the bathroom at the Kopi Cafe, and wielding a digital camera inside a public restroom, even without prurient motivations, and even though it was a one-staller, made me feel like a BIG PERV.)
Although most of my afternoon/evening was spent inside the cafe reading and writing, a quick glance down Clark Street revealed lots of old signs like these:
* * *
current book: Still finishing A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again. Perhaps it’s taking so long because I have to read lengthy passages aloud to my friends. It’s just that it’s kind of hilarious.
current music: Kopi was playing Lucinda Williams’ Essence, which I’m about to pop in the CD player to listen to again. It’s perfectly mellow, the kind of music you might listen to while driving at night in the rain.
current socks: Reddish and brownish stripeys.

“… aquick glance down Clark Street revealed lots of old signs…”
i’m sorry, milkshake,
i know you’ll be vexed with me,
but that’s a place where “signage” works
& signs is kind of limp…
NO. No, it does not work! If “signage” ever works, it should at least refer to signs that share some specific purpose or function; like way-finding signs at Indian Market, or merch signs at McBookstore. A street lined with old signs does not signage make.
