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.
ReplyDeleteToo bad that gallery wasn't open, those portraits look very well done. You have such good self control, not getting one of those cupcakes.
ReplyDeleteDid I see a Christmas tree next to these yummy cakes??
ReplyDeleteNice to see places you visit. Keep walking and looking:)
How could one resist cupcakes?
ReplyDeleteNice walk Jack! I like the display of painted portraits of the homeless. It's a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely try the cupcakes!
ReplyDeleteToo bad the gallery was closed, Jack! These people all have stories worth hearing.
ReplyDeleteInteresting walk. I'd have trouble passing up a cupcake.
