Reading the sidewalk, part 2

It has been well over a year--almost two!--since I've been in this area. Here are a few more random slabs of sidewalk lore from Florida St.

A HOUSE ON MATAGORDA THAT HAD
A BASEMENT THAT WAS A JAIL
AT ONE TIME.

SHE SEWED IN THE FACTORIES.
FINESILVER, TEXON. SHE GOT INJURED
THERE. THE ONE ON FLORES, SHARIKA
MANUFACTURING.
And perhaps my favorite...

HE WAS ITALIAN BUT NOT FROM
ITALY HE WAS FROM PENNSYLVANIA

And just for kicks, from later in the day, here is the property where the controversial Seymour Perkins' house once stood, now blissfully devoid of hookers, pushers, random junk weird folk art and cryptic racial propaganda. There are still a few junker vehicles off to the right that didn't get into the picture, but maybe they were just abandoned there. Hard to tell.

P.S. Rats! I had a straight connection today and forgot to write it up. Oh well.
