But Is It Justified?

Optimism 1

Found on a vacant building on 11th Street between Olive and Locust. It used to be some kind of Catholic residence, I think, or maybe a home for wayward lawyers. I'm not sure. Downtown redevelopment has passed it by.

The banner in the bottom photo is for a casino and luxury hotel complex a half mile away.

We went out to hear Morton Subotnick last night, one of the pioneers of electronic music. Hoping for some pictures.

  1. Nice observations . I like it. Also the design of the crosses . Somebody really thought that out.

  2. It looks like there is a need for a message of optimism on a boarded up window of a vacant downtown building.

  3. It has rather the opposite effect from its intention, alas.

  4. Well, I guess the combo of gambling and the thirst for religion, somedays, goes hand in hand.

  5. Passed by or not, there's potential in that building.

  6. I like Birdman's comment. And I've seen that same graffiti man with the glasses and mask here in Portland, Oregon. No words accompanied him, if memory serves. I saw your electronic musician photos at Flickr. I'll bet that was interesting, Bob.
