Middletown's Main Street

Middletown is kind of arty, kind of funky, kind of downtrodden, kind of fun, kind of sad.  
Restaurants, bars, galleries, clinics, social services.  I walked Main Street.



Nora's Cupcake is a Mecca for cupcake aficionados.  I decided they weren't good for my blood sugar.


Krust is a restaurant with a spare decor featuring manufactured wood.


Once a week Ada handles the cash register at her daughter's craft gallery, Tesoro. 


As Halloween approaches, Tesoro sells skeletons in wigs and fancy dresses.  I didn't buy one.


Middletown has a big homeless population.  A community garden is a favorite hangout.


An artist volunteering at 650 Main Street, a gallery, painted portraits of many of the homeless, 
to make the point that they have faces and stories.  It was closed. I shot through the window.

Excellent photos Jack. Your Main Street walk was well worth it.

Too bad that gallery wasn't open, those portraits look very well done. You have such good self control, not getting one of those cupcakes.

Did I see a Christmas tree next to these yummy cakes??
Nice to see places you visit. Keep walking and looking:)

Too bad the gallery was closed, Jack! These people all have stories worth hearing.

Interesting walk. I'd have trouble passing up a cupcake.
