Neighborhoods
A smattering of galleries are worth a look, but more fun is a stroll through the residential streets for a glimpse at the yard art — everything from a bicycle-powered “push” lawn mower to a large portrait of Lenin tacked above a doorway.
Nailed to a tree outside one house is a sign that says “Dance Hall.” Another points to the “Bar” upstairs and a giant clock set to 1 a.m. Next door, three beauty-parlor chairs, hair dryers still attached, are arranged in a circle on the parking strip.
My favorite is a house with copper Jell-O molds tacked to a fence and a planter made from a metal bed frame. White lights twinkle above the porch.
“It’s entertainment,” the owner laughed, stepping out in her robe. “Only in this neighborhood could you get away with this, and have people not thinking you’re a little eccentric.”
