Things I saw today...

When you're a pedestrian, you see all sorts of things you would never see flying by in a car.  The other day, I was walking down Market Street and I passed the old Lit Brothers department store.  Its been quite some time since this was a department store and its been remodeled and painted more than once, I'm sure.  But its an old building and probably historic.  I noticed that in the molding above the doors, below where it says Lit Brothers etched in stone, its says, "hats trimmed free of charge."  When I asked my mom about it, she assured me that it was true.  Hat trimming was always free.  I'll see if I can't snap a picture for you.

Here's something else I pass everyday,  Its a sculpture outside the federal courthouse.

There are signs everywhere directing you to a Louise Nevelson sculpture and until I walked up to this thing, I totally thought this was it.  But I was wrong.  The Nevelson sculpture is inside the building.  I could only see it through the windows.  Looks, cool, but this is what I saw on my way...

This is a bag of wood.  A bag.  Looks like one of those plastic IKEA bags with handles.  Only FILLED with wood.  Paul Bunyan couldn't  lift this thing. It tickled me. To what end is a bag of wood?  We'll see if its still there tomorrow.

I knew the public radio / tv station was around somewhere... and today I found it!

Finally, this is an old camera they found in the building the theatre recently purchased and that are starting to renovate.  (Another one of my construction projects)...  Its cool.  Its in bad condition and there's not much to the insides, but its definitely cool.

When I was a kid I loved a book called And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street by Dr. Seuss.  Today's and all my pedestrian adventures are to that book.  Enjoy.
