W. Franklin St.

During my lunch break today I took a walk down W. Franklin. It was amazing. The sun was out, trees were green, buildings were neat. A lot of it was through VCU territory, and it was nice to see the different department buildings, converted from old houses. African American studies, art history, politics and government, psychology. All kinds of neat ideas and things are being said and written and read and thought about on that street. And I saw a student wearing a black punk rock shirt and denim shorts, carrying a brief case in this left hand.
