Walk On

I love these tiles. They adorn a storefront but since they are below knee-level I wonder how many people actually even notice them.

Pardon the poor photography skills, my hands were shaking, and I didn't have a tripod. More gorgeous detailing.





Cool old neon signs. These are for the Spot Liquor Store and Bar. Interesting clientele, but delicious hot dogs, or Spot Dogs, if you will. They have a reputation. Point Richmond is home to the Chevron Refinery and it's multitudes of employees so it's food establishments do quite a lot of breakfast and lunch business. There is also a major trainyard that sees a lot of 24 hour action right next to the Spot, so it gets a lot of business during all hours of operation.

I love the look of these old signs with the rust stains, but original look still mostly intact.

I just liked the looks of this forlorn chair and ottoman in the late afternoon sun.

Walkin' Around

I took a walk around town last evening. My initial reason was to take a photo of this truck. I love it's colors and the simplicity of the logo. It's always parked right in the same spot.



The Hotel Mac has been open for ages. Since 1911 in fact. It is listed in the National Registry of Historic places. They happen to have a wonderful bar, and I can recommend the steak. I am often tempted by the delicious aromas that waft from their kitchen when my sliding glass doors are open. They are about a minutes walk away. This is what I love about living in Pt.Richmond, a small community with a picturesque downtown and the kind of neighborly feel that goes with it. (Sometimes you forget that we really are a part of crimeridden Richmond, CA, it really can seem worlds away)

One of the last of the roses growing in the town park. This beauty was amazingly fragrant. The rose bushes have been growing for 20+ years.

I love this Lilliputian building. The plaque below gives you the story behind it.
