you and WhisperJack inspired me to stop by my teeny tiny downtown area in NC after school yesterday. We have a railroad that was supposedly completed in 1912. One of these buildings by the railroad caught my attention: -fancy brickwork on a renovated front where they kept the original character -arched windows and doors with the arches bricked in to fit rectangular windows and doors -they took the (probably very ornate) top off of the building and flattened it out -an unrenovated original visible wall on one side with black and ashy mangled bricks -a wall of old bricks with RETOOLED mortar -the retooled mortar wall had fancy rosette earthquake bolts that don't belong in my area and I had only seen in Charleston SC -an insanely thick and strange concrete box cellar entrance set away from the building that was askew and was no longer level with ground -and a round topped nail driven into one of the lower bricks in the rosette bolt wall and the nail was not rusted at all THANK YOU for helping sharpen my eyes! When I'm done with school later this year I want to start a more in-depth investigation into my little town! hope you're having a beautiful day Professor Pants :)
Hello Strange hearing you mention the peanuts gang as in the last Martin Liedtke flatterday show entitled "The Replacements of Humanity and the OrphanTrain Deliveries", approximately and. Precisely 1 hr into the show he has a section on public art which you may or may not find interesting. Bout Snoopy & NASA & autism.❤
I missed Flatterday.. But that is extremely interesting! I'm gonna check that out. It makes sense, the peanuts.. the orphans.. but I find it even more peculiar that just today, I was thinking of the peanuts gang! Not sure why, but the name Lucy popped up in my mind this morning and I thought of Lucy from the peanuts And I'm not sure why. But I started to break down her name. I was just wondering her name is (Lucy/Lucifer😈) She's kind of evil, you know? 😅 The peanuts gang exposed us to even more early on. For example, there's the transvestite who plays baseball, Peppermint Marcy. And then you got my man, Franklin! The only brother around baby! Segregation and all! 😆 An athlete and all🤣l🤣
