D-Graff!
Posted on October 6th, 2009 – 2 CommentsI was having a chat with a colleague this afternoon about living in the city. He shook his head in rejection of it. He liked the burbs, he said. Didn’t like the hustle and bustle of the grit. I can honestly say that the entire time I’ve lived here I’ve not once been hustled, and bustled only on a handful of occasions.
I think what he was referring to were the sometimes congested sidewalks, and usually congested roads downtown. The driving part can’t be helped much. Owning a car in the city is frivolous, if you ask me. Walking for half an hour to just about anything you need isn’t gonna kill either you or your kids — just look both ways. And the congested sidewalks are entirely avoidable — just walk over to the next parallel street. Or, if you don’t mind getting a bit more risqué, the next parallel alley.
Hang on to your hat, you’re never gonna believe what this place is called…
Graffiti Alley
Yeah, I know. I’m gonna go with Graffalley to try to salvage something from it. Maybe it should be District Graff, since it’s really crawling up each of the adjacent alleys too. And it’s on everything:
Okay, that’s kind of a crummy example. But you just have to turn around and travel backwards in time to see a slightly livelier one:
... with pictures
... with sounds
... with videos
... with opinions
... that's shorter
... that's longer
