Walk to school with me

On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday I work at Sun-am Elementary. When it's nice out, I walk. This is what I see...
My street is a war zone. They've been "working" on a construction project since before I moved here. In 2 months literally nothing has changed. The bricks are all ripped out, the dirt is uneven, and there is a lovely - blanket?- covering the dirt.
Kissy face statues
 Car repair shop. At first I thought these were actually gold tires, and I was PUMPED for them to come  to America. Now I realize they're just regular tires wrapped in shiny paper. Bummer.
Fruit stand
In case you can't find it anywhere else...
Refrigerator repair shop? I have no idea...
Again, I have no idea
Excellent parking spots. These cars are there every day. I either
1. Walk on the street with the moving cars
2. Try to squeeze between blue truck and building
3. Try to squeeze between the 2 cars. Today they left me enough room. Usually they like to park even closer together
Another great parking spot
Petrochemical refinery plant. Across the street from school. Healthy
This sign tells how much of each chemical is being released into the air.
 Pile of dead crabs. How in the world did they end up on the sidewalk, far away from the ocean? 
Almost there :)

Ta-da! Sun-am Elementary

  2. Such a fun little walk! You would want gold tires on your car... haha the only thing that would make them better is sprinkles, right?
