    rest in justice

    Demand justice. Listen. Learn. Speak with new wisdom. Act.

    May 31, 2020

    I wanted to share a few images from a 4 mile walk around our neighborhood. W7th strong! The first picture is of two small business owners about whom I have blogged over the years (7th Street Tattoo, 7th Street Barbers).

    Also pictured is Shamrock’s Pub and Schmidt Brewery Complex and Keg and Case Market.
