Did take a ride along Jackson Street; Phoenix's Produce Row. Nothing not already shot. Parking was impossible north of 7th Street bridge alongside stadium. 16th no good; into sun. Could not get access into yard. Took some shots of graffiti on the box cars. That's about it. On the way back, several shots in Coronado District and stopped by Phoenix Art Museum.
This piece was the first of its kind I ever saw here. (Monumental? LOL) After many visits through the 70s, moved here in 1981. I'd traded my vehicle for a guitar while in Portland (about a $500 value swap with an auto mechanic who took the Gibson guitar as payment for a job) as I was fine, in mine environmental scruples at the time, using public transportation and bike there. The old 1967 VW 1600cc was rusting beneath anyway.
Arrived here without a vehicle. Stayed with my folks a while until job and apartment found. One of the first things I did was to get a library card. Hopped on the bus at 49th Avenue and Cactus to go to the old main branch at Central and McDowell. It took an hour and a half! Got a car the next day.
The former PAM was behind the library and this piece was on McDowell. Was amused by it without jumping to conclusions. It's placed in the parking lot of the new facility! You can't get a decent shot without vehicles being in the picture - had to kneel down for this. They could do much better insofar as placement goes but what do they know?!! The place looks like a bunker.
