Walker and Elam Avenues are quite busy on the weekends. Last night, people were socializing in restaurants and bars, and listening to music at Common Grounds Coffee; others were finishing laundry in Suds & Duds. One person was busking providing tunes for shoppers at Bestway picking up snacks and visiting the famous beer wall.

While the above area was teeming with life (indoors) the street of the area evokes the lonely feel of an Edward Hopper painting. You can barely see the man in the white car driving. The parked red car with its lights on implies a person is inside it; the street looks empty. Don’t be fooled. People were out and about last night, as evidenced by the near full patio at Fishbones– the southeast corner of the intersection. Tonight should be another lovely evening. Please consider heading out to support local businesses– even if it is to wash some bed covers in a heavy duty washing maching! Suds and Duds makes that a social event!

Happy Saturday!
