My Neighborhood

There's a 1/4 square mile area I'm familiar enough with to deviate from straight-line when walking. Some are blurry because of the low light. And now, for your viewing pleasure, here they are:

This is in front of the our companies building. He was very happy to have his picture taken. I, too, would be proud of this feat.

This is a view from outside my kitchen window. I walked passed that large building in the distance in search of an illusive "water park." I found an irrigation ditch cum river that passerby seemed pleased enough to consider sitting next to.

This is the view of the little road where my apartment entrance is on. Those are dogwood's that line the road.

This is karaoke. You can hear it very loudly all through the block. Buynow does this as some sort of promotion. There were probably 150 people stopped to watch her sing. They also have the World Cup on a wrap-around flat screen playing at the intersection. I could care less about soccer, but man.. it's HUGE and grabs even my interest.

Live seafood on the side of the road. In Carrefour, the large French Wal-Mart down the street, they have aquariums inside too for seafood. The Chinese like fresh.

Suport Fance. Buy Freedom Fries. Zidane is one the best players ever, and the Italians are a bunch of diving queens.

[On the other hand, the food, the buildings, the joie de vivre of Italy are unsurpassed.]

But Now is them the time to suport France.
