Brickwork

I took this first photo on 14 October 2018.

This church (Bethel Evangelical Lutheran) is more or less on my way to work.

I would see it every morning about a block off of my accustomed route.

The brickwork caught my attention.

 

I took these next two photos on 22 March 2021.

I thought the ambient light and the color of the sky were good, and I wanted to get a closer shot of the bricks above the door and above the stained glass window.

San Joaquin Light & Power Corporation

Downtown Fresno.

The buildings on the right are Warnor's Theater, on which I reported back in December 2018.

The taller building on the left is the San Joaquin Light & Power Corporation.

Wine Sale

 

This banner was completely random.

I have no idea where this fabulous wine sale was happening.

The sign gives no clue, and it is attached to a fence in an industrial neighborhood.

The closest buildings are an abandoned warehouse and the Post Office.

Someone worked hard on the graphics - pretty clever to use the zero in 20% as the bottle and the i in wine as the glass.

Random, though.  I have no idea where I could go to get an EXTRA 20% off.

Antiques

 

This is an excellent, beautifully weathered sign over the entrance to Palm-Olive Vintage and Antiques; one of my favorite vintage stores in Fresno.  

It is located at the intersection of Palm Avenue and Olive Avenue.

I snapped the top photo on 18 December 2018.

The bottom photo is a screenshot I snagged just now from Google Earth Street View.

Unexpected Face #26

 

This purse is broadcasting wide-eyed goofiness.

The straw hat is rather cock-eyed, too.

Meaningful Mural - Street Art #38

 

I took this photo on March 22, 2021.

This mural is beautifully created. The artistry is magnificent!

The meaning of the red handprint on the woman's mouth is to bring attention to the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.

I had previously taken a picture of this wall on December 18, 2018.

I think at the time I was just interested in the "abandoned cafe" aspect of the building.

Club One Neon

 

This casino has been operating in downtown Fresno for years. 

Recently it moved to another location, but it is still going strong.

I've never been inside it, though.
