Can't go too long without taking his picture! He was hyp-mo-tized by a light outside.


Transformers
Transformers

Not robots in disguise.

Scary, humming crackling things that probably toss off white and blue sparks when I'm not looking.


Transformers 2

A bit further back on the walk. Humming is all but imperceptible here.


Alleyway, the other side
Alleyway, the other side

I usually apporach the riverwalk from the other side, but the alleyway was well-lit and unoccupied so I figured I'd travel the backroad a bit. Everything in this neck of the woods is barred off or locked tight... it's rather intimidating after nightfall.


Take/ Basi?

I have no idea what this graffito means.


A&E Trolley
A&E Trolley

Starting on October 8th, there's a trolly that will take you up and down the art & science district, free of charge. Friday nights, and all day saturday, running every 10-15 minutes. I may take more advantage of them next week... but for now, it was just cute to ride along. I got an unforseen shortcut home (saved me a 9 block walk, and I talked to the conductor who was from Quincy, MA. Nice Guy, though he hasn't broken the New England mindset to the more bohemian South Florida, yet.


singer
singer

random snap of a gal singing at latin fest. She was really belting out some number I never heard before, but wouldn't mind hearing again. Halfway between torch song and rhythm-pop.



AOL Latino
AOL Latino

Wow! If you thought AOL "en Ingles" was lousy, just wait until you try AOL LATINO!!

MUY ETHNICO!

MUY PEYO!!

Seriously, I got free wireless access while standing next to the aol booth. If the commercial network isn't secure... how much do you think they care about customer security?

They had some deal if you promised to use aol latino for a year, you could have a fair bare-bones system with a 17 inch monitor and color printer (dial-up) for $300. I could see where that would make a lot of people happy.

but still.

AOL. THOU ART DE DEBBIL!

Erm

EL DIABLO!



Newsroom Cafe.
Newsroom Cafe.

Mostly for scale. note the 3' tall bird graffiti on the left.


Birdie graffiti
Birdie graffiti

Kind of cool. Somone drew a picture on glue-backed paper, and posted this doorknob-height bird on the side of the building. I've been seeing more and more of these style postings around town... I guess it's easier than doing it on site, and getting caught?

News Room Cafe.

How can such a dump be allowed to survive? it makes the flo look like a 4-star.

The bird certainly adds zip to an otherwise shoddy joint.

Different places around the city, mostly Lauderdale near the ocean, businesses. places with big, flat areas, near a street surface. I suspect "drive-by" graffiti-posting.

There *are* a lot of great local places to eat, thankfully.

regarding the masthead, I wonder if anyone ever brought it to the attention of the tribune?

It was terrible. the promotional video inside the trailer was circus based, with crazy spanish barkers, and midgets calling you to see.

LOL! There's one in Chinatown here that kills me: Ugly Neck Face

I have no idea what the hell that's about...but I would seriously love to find out.

I could get into calling someone ugly neck face.

Heh.
I'll try to remember to take a photo the next time I'm down there...

Aww that is an awesome picture of the Newt Kitty.
I like his ears.

Thanks!

His ears are like little radar-dishes... they function independant of one another, and spin around to locate whatever is in the room.
