I’m going on vacation for 7-10 days, but I’ll set up a Thursday Doors to post while I’m AFK.
Today, we finally make it INTO the Frazier History Museum. Eventually.
A better look at that truck, with doors peeking around the corners.
THE FRONT DOOR! Also: doorfie of self and part of the amazing Sara Marian.
When is a door not a door? Also: another doorfie.
Archways count.
Our first stop was the Beecher Terrace exhibit Sara helped curate. It’s part of the West of 9th exhibit, 9th street being the unofficial but generally acknowledged boundary of The West End, where I grew up. It was heavily populated by marginalized peoples, including immigrants. My folks were from Bavaria.
Here is an artifact Sara uncovered and the explanation she wrote about the family in the lot where it was found. They are doors to history.
Thursday doors is under the direction of Dan Antion, photographer extraordinaire and critter daddy. Visit his site, enjoy his wonderful photographs, follow his directions, and enter a world of doors.
A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: Boxcars.
