Update on Demolition, Sign Painter at Work and Cooking Outside Wholey’s
Similar colors. A friend emailed to let me know that the once silver Civic Arena/Mellon Arena roof looked completely red so I drove downtown to capture the progress of the demolition.
I drove to the Strip on a most crowded holiday shopping day. It was Saturday afternoon in the Strip District and I saw a sign painter was painting above the crowded sidewalks. I realized I walked under a ladder. Didn’t think I was superstitious but when I saw this photo for the people at work series, I remembered a tinge of concern. It makes sense to not walk under a ladder as a bucket of paint could spill on you or you could hit the ladder and knock someone off. Need to do some research but not tonight.
I can tell you that the scent of grilled veggies and shrimp was inviting but I’d just eaten lunch. ; – (
Zucchini strips on the left. Grilled shrimp on the right.

It’s risky being a photographer:)

Love how the car window frames the Mellon Arena rooftop. I hope that’s water the cook is spraying on the grilled shrimp. If not, this may be one of the last pictures of that grill before the great fire.

Oysters in my mouth… just adding to that last sentence for you.

Gorgeous photos! The grilled veggies and shrimp sound good, but the Italian Cheese Steak advertised on the awning sounds really good right now.
