If you started a sports team, what would the colors and mascot be?
Someone might choose this yellow and this blue / green. Mind you, not I. Nor would I make the team rep be a muskrat.

Let’s catch up
What was the last thing you did for play or fun?
This is it, shooting pix as I toodle around my neighborhood. This set of photos presented after a nice lunch with a friend.
(We favor a Mexican place, but each of my friends and I tend to gravitate towards one or a few specific restaurants.)
Taking pictures, eating ice cream, and sharing this minutiae with you.
For a more nuanced gawk at architecture, I refer you to the original predecessor of this site, The Sidewalk Super blog..
Aha
What’s something most people don’t know about you?
That I am obsessive? That these days I get up extra early?
Is this the hunter moon?
Good fences?
What makes a good neighbor?
Funny you should ask
What could you try for the first time?
Last week, I passed Remi 43, a flower coffee bar I regretted not trying an exotic rose latte.
What’s better than a second chance?
I chose an even more exotic sounding lavender matcha latte. It was fine but not quite strange enough.
A boost
What things give you energy?
The river. The sky. The sunset. The rooftops. A cup of coffee.
I wish I knew
Which topics would you like to be more informed about?
“Gawking at buildings,” that’s how I described my hobby to my future husband even before we met.
It’s something I truly enjoy, but alas do it with only a dilletante’s understanding.
I think this facade is a treat. Love the balcony [half-balc] and then the decoration over the windows. And oh yes, the turret* [is it] at the top? (I believe it houses a water tower. I like water towers.)
The little balconies are generally called Juliet in honor of the heroine in Shakespeare’s play.
I know something, it’s just not enough to feel like I know!
Not really
What are three objects you couldn’t live without?
This post is for my dear friend ACJ, who famously asked, “What’s with the cranes?”
The cranes are turning my city into a Dubai or Singapore.
International architects make the international landscape a uniform sight. Tall sometimes glassy sometimes granitine buildings can be spotted all over the city map.

What is your favorite drink?
Water goes so well with a walk. I am actually partial to drinking the carbonated version.
The bubbles make me feel all sparkly.
Idyll
Describe your most ideal day from beginning to end.
I enjoy a random ramble
Without map or preamble
Wandering suits my mood
Fits my temperament, is good
Walks that are serendipitous
Not precipitous signal the
Ideal day spent ideally and
Satisfying an inherent
Wanderlust for the errant
Wanderer that I apparently am
Walk with Me, Too
