Downtown Marietta Chalktoberfest
Sidewalk Art. When I think of chalk I
think of chalk erasers and the many times Van Callaway and I had to stay after
school at Waterman Street School and dechalk them by beating them.
I know a
little about sidewalk chalk. I remember,
also in grammar school, of drawing a heart on the sidewalk, which I am sure was
lopsided or something, and declaring my love for a little girl, who I have no
idea who it was now, and I'm sure, whoever it was, is glad I forgot. I drew it
on East Dixie Avenue near the Butler Street Corner.
After I got
home I happened to think what if my uncle Doug Hunter is driving down that
street and sees it he would kid me never ending. He was always looking for ammunition to tease
me about. I walked back to my
masterpiece, about three blocks and erased it.
The art
displayed here, I promise you, is technically better than my love declaration.
As always, click on each picture to make it larger and hopefully prettier.
