As Seen About Town




 the entrance to a mobile home park
on the edge of town.
I'm picturing every evening
when someone hosts a retro-pot-luck;
fondue pots, deviled egg platters, Durkee onions,
whiskey sours.....



our Mediterranean Revival 
City Hall






amazing tile work
everywhere you look

the phone booths


the stair risers


the entrance to an apartment building

downtown offices


most of the city benches






post boxes with climbing jasmine



wisteria with trunks larger than two people combined


even the drinking fountains have charm



The Arlington Theater
(the star of the city's many theaters)
with a capacity for 2000 people, 
the interior gives the impression to the theater-goer
that you're sitting in the plaza of a colonial Spanish town; 
tile roofed houses, balconies and staircases
are built into the interior sides of the theater 
and it's domed ceiling is painted midnight blue
and has tiny pin-lights that look like stars.
brilliant! 

it's entrance hall past the street-side ticket booth
(that's a fountain in the middle)

entrance doors to the theater itself

the interior
