I was stone sober when I walked by these meters but I was stopped dead in my tracks. I was mesmerized by the intricate pipe work. Super fresh.

The numbers are the birthdays of the owner’s niece and nephew. I thought it was a pretty interesting spot. The owner is Soung who was part of the team that designed CommonWealth’s logo (more on that to come in a bit).

This one’s located at 11th and Florida. I liked it because I just read an article in the New York Times about the death of the cassette. I consider this fire box a memorial of sorts. The article starts:
“There was a funeral the other day in the Midtown offices of Hachette, the book publisher, to mourn the passing of what it called a “dear friend.” Nobody had actually died, except for a piece of technology, the cassette tape.”
Anyway, do you like this one better than the one from yesterday? More photos after the jump. (more…)

Former Door of the Day recipient had some sweet art drying on their porch the other day. I was/am totally mesmerized by this piece.

There are a whole bunch of old fire boxes that have been decorated by the Art & Media House. A reader told me about this one and then I found two others on my walk around town. I’ll post the others throughout the week. I’m a huge fan. Do you like it? More photos after the jump. (more…)

I was wondering what happened to Mr. Roboto? Glad to see his renaissance.

These were some pretty wild ones. It turns out they belong to a super cool artist named J. Coleman. You can check out his Web site here. One more after the jump. (more…)

Hmm, a signed glass door. What am I missing here?

This was apparently painted in a reader’s home. Very cool. If you have any art in your home that you would like featured please email me a photo at [email protected]

Well, I didn’t see Maureen Bunyan this time but I did see lots of folks having a great time at the show. Bloombars of course is the great new spot on 11th Street next to Wonderland that bills itself as an underground “spontaneous” scene for art and music. It is arguably the coolest new development in the entire city. Despite opening an hour late, a quick power outage and an annoying fire alarm blaring across the street the evening had the same great vibe as the previous performances. There is a wonderful diversity among the crowd and the music of course is terrific. I unfortunately only caught the opening act before having to leave. Did anyone catch the headliners? How was your experience?
