Broadway Cops

For a couple days these fliers were up around the neighborhood. They clean the fliers off lamp posts regularly, so I'm not sure if it was citizens, cops or the regular crews who took them down. Broadway is the major street close to where I live. I prefer to think they mean Broadway theaters in New York. Makes me smile. =)

Might not have updates for a couple weeks because I'll be heading home for the holidays as of this weekend. We'll see.

What Revolution?

There is a little independent book store around the corner from where we live. It is called Revolution Books. Justin posted this on his blog not too long ago, but since none of you read his blog, I'll repost. I took this picture the other day. I wanted to focus on the graffiti. It looks like someone removed the word "What", but you can still see it pretty well. I was able to get the sign in the shot as well.

Snow?

I thought I moved to Seattle to get away from this. The flakes are huge and the snow is sticking to everything but the ground. Consensus is that this is bizarre to be happening in Capitol Hill. I was out playing basketball when it started.

Household Items Sculpture

Across the street from the Mural on the Pike Street Bridge and right next to the Paramount theater are 3 big mesh people sculptures comprise of depictions of various household items. Easy to pick out are a comb, a spatula, a ring, a bottle and a coffee cup. There might be others, but I think that's about it. I particularly like the one on the left with the top hat and fancy suit jacket.

Qwest Field

I didn't get very good pictures. Marques and I went to the Bears vs. Seahawks game yesterday. I snapped some pictures with the intent of taking more and forgot. Anyway, the game was good and pretty exciting. I'm not a Bears fan, but since I wear a Cubs hat and jacket, people see me with Marques (Urlacher jersey) and assume. It is fun to be contrary, so I stuck with it. Plus the Bears fans are the ones who kept giving positive comments on my Cubs hat, so I appreciated that. The stadium is awesome. The big replay screen is really cool, plus because it is in SODO (south of downtown), it has a cool view of the city on one end, including Smith Tower (the white one in the middle, probably my favorite building in the city).

The Fountain at Cal

This is Cal Anderson, a great public park around the corner from our place. I go there to play basketball and go for walks. This is the cool fountain and the reflecting pools.

Hippies

This is written in the concrete (like when you write something before it hardens) and I pass it on my way to the park to play basketball. I've been shooting around almost every day for the past 2 weeks.
