From the outside looking in it appears the arts are thriving in Georgetown. Bella Vitale poster and sign.

Even Cowgirls…….
Cowgirls Espresso, just around the corner from The Hangar Cafe. The yellow sign posted on the right side of the building warns customers not to use a camera or video equipment. My guess is that the customers are drawn to Cowgirls Espresso for the unusual and kitschy architecture, but I could be wrong.
The Miller School of Art
The Miller School of Art in Georgetown.
Neon by Day
Neon sign by day , this ‘Georgetown’ sign is just as eclectic as this neighborhood. I need to take a night shot of this sign.
Art Deco
Looks a little like Art Deco. A lot of work went into this light fixture.
Post Grafitti
It’s possible that the original grafitti in this spot was more appealing to look at than this remedy.
Let’s Dance
For some reason this painting reminds me of the David Bowie song of the 80’s.
Steps
Building in downtown Portland.
Accomodations
On the grounds of the Alki Lighthouse is the lighthouse keeper’s residence.
Fred Marino
Part of the entryway into the Fred Marino building in Georgetown. Apparently at one time Fred Marino was the largest truck farmer in the Seattle area. This link will take you to a site where there is a history of Italian truck farmers in this area.
Urban Decay for All Ages
Another shot/attempt at the brick wall. Father and son out for a walk among the ruins. The son looks like he is not so sure about this adventure.
The Right Angle
I spent some time and a few bits of memory trying to get just the right angle on this wall that would conjure up the right optical experience. I don’t think this shot is the winner. I may be posting a few more of these attempts till I find the right one. My apologies in advance.
Smokestack
At the southern end of the old Rainier Brewery building is a tall, brick smokestack. On the image of the base of the smokestack you can see where ash was probably cleaned out. If this structure was damaged in the 2001 earthquake we had they sure did a good job restoring it.
The Goofy and Mundane
Goofy-looking unicorn on a telephone pole and a coffee shop down the street. I feel more comfortable in an environment/locale like Georgetown as opposed to a modern shopping mall. Places like Georgetown in Seattle and Alberta St. in Portland feel very real and comfortable to me. Malls make me very nervous; the music is always too loud and people seem to behave in a manic mode.
