Still trying to catch up visiting, I offer this old school street art style Iguana, and close comments.

Love Old School!

In an almost empty parking lot in Greek Town….

…the 1 car was reasonably clean.

What a cool Iguana!

Lots to reflect on.

Bill, from BW Thoughts & BW Fiction sent us this fab historical mural. (worth a click for a better look!)

Circa 1870, Mr Pullman built a town so the factory workers in his factory could have clean air, running water, plumbing & good schools for their kids.

He financed the town with bonds & charged the people rent. The company did all the maintenance and kept the houses, landscaping and parks clean & pristine.

Then came a recession. He cut wages. but didn’t cut rents. This started the rail-road strikes. Pullman was reviled, became called despicable & un-American.
Now, over 100 years later, some of these houses are still in use.

Puerto Rican Iguana

Maria from Tropical Flowering Zone has also sent us this Iguana.

“This mural has very good technique. It depicts a Green Iguana, officially declared as an ‘invasive species’ on the island. The unknown artists of this mural painted the Iguana as a huge monster holding a Coqui Frog in its hand. “

“Here you can see the detail of the Iguana holding the Coqui Frog. The truth of the matter is that Green Iguanas do not attack Coquis, so at the time this mural was painted, there was a misconception of the Green Iguana and the reptile, which has been stigmatized ever since. The Green Iguana is a beautiful reptile and its diet is strictly vegetarian. I love Green Iguanas and will do anything to rescue and protect them from being harmed.”
