The wozzle and I decided to change our usual walk routine and drive into one of my favorite neighborhoods in Memphis. When I lived in Mid-Town Memphis I lived right around the corner from Overton Park a pleasant sanctuary housing the zoo, the Brooks Museum, and a small golf course. Adjacent to the park is the Evergreen Historic District
I have always considered public libraries and urban parks to be one of the last bastions of democracy places to go an escape, contemplate, and open the mind. The sheer ordinary act of doing nothing productive, failing to contribute anything worthwhile to "the market" and simply being human seems almost revolutionary these days.
I thought I would share a few photos, nothing spectacular or of grave importance, just life and a bit of architecture for pleasure.... Nothing that will change the world.
New wozzle friends....
Some grand homes near the park....
Ah. The sweet nothingness of being alone, no cell phone, no wifi, low tech...
Thanks for having a peek. Hope you are able to enjoy the bliss of a public park near you.
