I realized while driving home from class, that i hadnt took a stroll down Main St in a few days. I enjoying doing this from time to time because its such a neat little street, with cool Mason inspired architecture. Everything is very geometrically sound. Arches and key stones, pressed tin for roofing, and beautiful columns. This city at one time was crafted to be beautiful. Years since the date of origin for this brick and more, still retaining a subtle ambiance like one should be hating the British for there taxes and central banking practices, all the while elegantly socializing with of a legion of revolutionaries.
The Main St of Washington Nc was a splendid place in its youth. I know this because I can feel this. I feel the freshly arrived settlers in the Port, I can see the ships with sails. I can sense the fear of being robbed by free spirited Pirates, yet sympathize with their passion to be free of all rules. Yet saddened by their ignorance that sometimes there just has to be order in the chaos.
This is the timeline of my journy.
Got out of my car at the public parking area and took the first picture, i dont really know what this place is, i think its law offices, but the building is a neat one, i wish i lived in an apartment up above there
Secret grove lookin place here. Thought it was a cool looking place.
Ancient, Free & Accepted Masons of North Carolina. The name actually does sound very intriguing. This city was named after Gen. George Washington. This is the original Washington. Gen. Washington was a known Free-Mason. Makes sense, right?
Here he the artist at work, prime'ing a cavas to be painted on. We went into a descussion about the fact he is doing a "nudey" and how sometimes they just gotta be done. Every one has to do a few in their lifetime. Stating that this was only the 4th or 5th time doing one of these paintings. Nice fellow, this man.
More original work.
South Market Antiques.. i havnt been in here yet.
or Visible Changes Hair Salon. but one day.
