They had it Bubblin like Soda Foam!

This pic is from one of the cooler spots that had sneaks.

As im boppin from city to city i had an epiphany. Independence and comradery is a state of mind. Im sauntering down Peters St. in the peach state and i see they know how to get it bubbling in a major way and the location is irrelevant. Here's the blueprint; a block about a half mile long packed with independent business on both sides and actually a couple around the corner. There is actually an art show every third friday of the month i believe but all the businesses in the area welcome you, even though they may not have art. The doors are all open and most of the spots offered complementary drinks and snacks.

A few spots actually had some art, every open lot or building had some local art and/or artist in it. The boutiques were open about an hour later and the whole thing drew a nice crowd. It is something to be said for people coming together and everybody can eat. Someone needs to tell these northerners that its enough money for everybody to eat. The whole thing was so cool because every place had its own flavor and it was pumping with lively ideas and creativity. A couple of restaurants were on the strip and the food that i had was on point like a harpoon.

The critical detail here is that the neighborhood/area is nothing special but because the people and businesses showed so much love it made the area special. I even ran into my man from De La Soul (shout out to original hip hop), the dark skin bald one. Matter of fact dude was sitting outside one of the good eats in a chair on his mac book, talking to his people when they came by. One of the eateries had a Mac that you could just walk up and use to jump on the internet or do what you please. It was creative.

So what im tryin to say is: Show love and We can All get it Crackin!
