We chose this neighborhood for it's vast diversity in all respects. We start with a section 8 housing(lowered to low income housing) development that is usually behind a gate to limit access. When the landscapers were busy I walked in and found this: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Austin+Signs/woman+with+birds+abstract+modern.jpg.html The restaurant that this sign advertises is a popular fried chicken and beer emporium. Did I say very popular and perhaps an institution in Austin: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Austin+Signs/Lucys.jpg.html This is in an alley near some restaurants. I have no idea what this references or why it was painted as visibility is very limited unless you are taking a shortcut through the neighborhood: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Austin+Signs/JELO.jpg.html Going north from the alley and then east on a surface street you come to this wall abutting a restaurant. I guess art takes many expressions but I'm going to guess this artist stays up way to late at night: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Austin+Signs/test+pattern+wall.jpg.html Several blocks north and on the main surface street is a small bodega/grocery specializing in organic produce, imported good wine and spices for non-european cuisines: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Austin+Signs/Our+Lady+of+the+Radish.jpg.html Last for today is a mural on the patio area of an Italian restaurant. Many weeks ago I showed another mural for a Fellini film and this one is next to it: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Austin+Signs/Matrimonio+all+Italiana.jpg.html All the best until next week. -- Don don.dory at gmail.com -- Don don.dory at gmail.com
