The walk to work; Art

I'm staying at a hotel that's a little less than a mile from work (on the northern outskirts of Fort Lauderdale), so I walk to the office most days. Here are some of the things I pass on the way, in order:

a Catholic church
a Microsoft office building
a large trailer park
a Jaguar dealership (I found a geocache near here)
an LA Fitness
a movie theater with 12 screens (dodecaplex?)
a Hooters
a seemingly defunct Mexican restaurant, with a large parking lot
the Xanadu Boutique For Sophisticated Adults

It's kind of a weird neighborhood.

Last weekend, I ended up randomly going to an open art studios event with some coworkers, and of course it made me think cthulhia would have loved it. I met and chatted with Sonia Baez-Hernandez, whose works I quite enjoyed, particularly Marine Passion and Enbodiment of Nails. At home, I rarely get out to open studios or other art events, but here it felt like a little taste of home.
