A Downtown Walking Poem

Did you notice the new green banners hanging from the light poles along Broadway?  Designed by local artist and poet, Daniel Blue, the banners hang between 9th and 15th Streets.  Start walking from 9th Street and you’ll read the entire poem as you reach the convention center.  They went up yesterday to celebrate the opening of the farmers market and the Go Local campaign. We like them.  We like the design and the words.  We also like seeing the partnership between the Downtown Merchant Group, the Chamber of Commerce, and a local artist.  We look forward to seeing many more projects like this in the future.

Now, get outside and see it for yourself.  Here’s a special incentive for you.  The first ten people to email the entire poem to viewsvision@hotmail.com will receive a free “253 Heart” t-shirt designed by Daniel.
