This hotel complex, which has gone through a few names, came down this week. I haven’t gotten around to the backside, but one of the best music rooms in town was there – the Foundry. It opened (as the Melting Point) when I moved here 21 years ago and I did some photo work for them in their first six months, documenting the musicians who came through.

Great sound, brutally low light levels but a very neat place. Have seen a lot of greats there, including James McMurtry, the BoDeans, Sam Bush and so many others. I hope it isn’t lost.

Not sure why I keep looking at this stained glass piece this summer.

On the taco run, parked next to this urban assault vehicle that had one persno in it.

The college’s building is getting a clean and refresh this summer on the exterior. The core structure of our building is good, I do wish we had a little less concrete popcorn on the exterior, though.

Late afternoon light through the kitchen window and early morning light showing a little warping to our live edge table.

Out for beverages with the Mrs. and a colleague, didn’t stand here long.

Construction has me rerouting on the way home. Not sure why, but the yellows had me stop. Then I started to explore a bit.

First, just the building, portapotty, yellow curb and double yellow line. Then a walker approached and a bike rider came through. The walker lined up in a curb break. I headed back to my car and found a yellow gas pipe, then some caution tape.

Then the yellow motorcycle … serendipity.

Took the Mrs. out for a belated anniversary dinner. Life has been creeping up around us for a while.
