the night after halloween, 11/1/26, view of downtown police action from my street, salida11/1/26, took a night’s walk from my place a few blocks down to the center of salida’s downtown. Love the feeling of walking out my door to a miniature version, very miniature, of NY City. The action within walking distance of my place. Something so urban about it. But quieterdowntown salida, 11/1/26i started out on this walk because i had seen this flashing “open” sign in the mexican restaurant down the street. Felt lonely, closest thing to urban in salidaa house i’ve always been intrigued by, not shown here, but has a house on top of a house, but the same house.
