Sidewalk Sale

It was a busy Saturday morning for me yesterday. I was up early and into the city to meet P- at the Good Egg for breakfast. After, I walked up Congress Street and took in the 45th Annual WCSH6 Sidewalk Art Festival. I was there early and stayed around till 11 to check out a few of the artists, photographers and the affiliated Car Show. Later, it was off to Lincoln Park to visit the PICNIC Music & Art Festival and view all the (all grown-up) flower children of the 60's and their children and grandchildren manning the booths selling anything from t-shirts, art, metalworks, second-hand clothes, homemade leather bags and jewelry, used bicycles, assorted oils and perfumes and lots of just plain junk. It was a beautiful morning to be out and about, and I was!

  11. Sidewalk art festivals are the best kind. I used to participate in them here when I was young. My son would sometimes go along and spend the day with me there.

  12. A great way to spend a day, and the summer art or music festivals are the best. I'll sorely miss them when the cold weather arrives. Darn!
