Dan and I were set to volunteer for ArtsWave's "Painting the Street" event... until I got knocked out by a bit of food poisoning. Whee!
We were able to slip downstairs to see the progress the community was making, however. We ran into friends like JT Barse and Jenny Kessler-- Jenny had been volunteering all morning to help coordinate the painters, and she said that the painting was going much faster than the team had anticipated.
It was incredible to see so many people flooding 12th Street! It's a road I pass every day on my commute-by-foot to work, and I hope the paint (and the interest in visiting this new street mural!) sticks around for a while.
Here are some of the great shots Dan snapped on our visit:
That last picture was snapped from our balcony, to give you an idea of how close to our "backyard" this new community project is. Yea!
