have art, will walk.

One of my former students is graduating from Moravian this term and her senior thesis show is hanging in the Payne Gallery. I think it's important for me to support these kids, so I decided to walk to the show. Thankfully it wasn't hot yesterday—the gallery doesn't open till noon.

Apparently, the show was not just for graphic designers. This piece was front and center as you walked in the door. It had just a little impact. Tracey's space was actually kind of small and tucked in a corner.

Walking over, spring was busting out all over. Actually, it was almost done busting, but I did manage to find a couple pretty examples.

The route: Up Bishopthorpe, out Seneca, down Cherokee, out Brighton to the bridge. Over the bridge, down 2nd Avenue, down Spring and up Main to the Gallery. Coming back Down Main, Spring, up the stairs over the bridge, over bridge, Wyandotte, Broadway home.

Miles/Steps:  2.5 It's not really that far, even if you take a convoluted route
Bathrooms:   didn't use
Wildlife:        squirrels, birds bunnies. everyone was out in full-force.
Weather:      mid-50s, cloudy
$ Found:       1¢
Extras:          The teens sitting on the stars didn't move. I climbed around them. After I got up one flight, they got up. Brats.
Extras 2:       When I arrived at Nativity churches corner a car was beeping at me. WTF? Then I noticed the man was scratching his butt. They beeped again. And then again. I was resisting all temptation to turn around and give them the finger. Later I found out it was Bonnie.
