I had a long conversation with my world traveling grandmother today... she reminded me to always write down little details of your travels because you will forget in 10, 20, 50 years which restaurant you ate at where the owner’s dog sat at your feet, what streets you walked down, and other small detailed memories like that. This small detail is of the street signs in Italy (this one was in Florence). I loved the engraving and Roman lettering on the bright yellow crackling paint walls.

I’m glad to see our city is stepping things up!
