(Street) Art in Charlotte 08JUL23
I was sauntering through Charlotte this last weekend.
I was with my new lady friend and headed to The Mint Museum.
When all the sudden a very colorful alleyway appeared.
With some of the most rich and vibrant street art I’ve seen.
I mean, look at this... the quality was unbelievable.
Had to catch some of it on camera.
This was the most artful alleyway I’ve seen in my life to this point.
What an ideal way to beautify your city.
Between a garage and high rises around 100 E. Fourth Street.
Finally, near the museum.
My lady and I had drinks after... glad I moved here!

Crab/Crawfish Boil! Coloring the food was a challenge of "what shade of Copic Marker is this?"
The last time I had a Crab Boil was in… middle school? My friend’s mom dumped the whole thing on a giant plastic sheet on the dining room table and it was DELICIOUS. Definitely made an impression, that's for sure!
