In The Big City

While we were in The Big City, we went to the Art Districk. This is the part of town where they are making apartments and stuff in these old mills. The mills are empty because now they make everything in China or Bangladesh. And there are lots of old buildings here. But now it seems to be going "Upscale" with the Galleries, restaurants and bars.
The Fuzz even found this Electric Church there.
His Sweetie and he wandered around a bit while they waited to be joined by the Newlyweds for Fish Tacos, or what. The street behind all this excitment was full of empty, kinda rundown, houses. He did make a couple of pictures of these, but I will spare you all that.
However, in touring the various Galleries we came upon this example of the wondrous, Art-O-Mat !
You may remember the Art-O-Mat, that converted Cigarette machine, that was reborn to bring Art to the masses.

We got the opportunity to crawl around all these places and see just what it was about. There was jewelry, some was pretty nice. The Fuzz's Sweetie almost got her some, but finally let it go. There were lots of paintings. Some were good, some weren't, and some were overpriced.

At last it was time to hit the road. And so we went back to the Little City in the dark.

And Have a Happy Thanksgiving every one.
