The Bwog
Opening Day of the Street Fair Season
Previous Post | Next Post

It's the first real street fair of the season! The east side of Broadway is fenced off to make way for crepe-making, halal, carnival games, and the highest concentration of tie-dyed sweatshirts we've ever seen. Bwog took to the streets with a camera to capture the springtime loveliness. (And how about this weather!)

There is no happy Columbia. There is a depressing Columbia and a depressing Columbia with a veneer of hope in the form of superficial weather/short-lived events.

The Thai tent gave me heartburn. And I am not a middle-aged man. Be warned.
