Boulevard & Vine

How could it be that Your Boulevardier has walked the City of Lite for so long and never noticed the fantastic vine on the side of the B.A. Morrison building? Be sure to click the photo for a larger view.



The building was for many years a feed store. One believes that live chicks -- once the foundation of the Castro Valley economy -- were still sold there when Your Boulevardier was a youth. Given today's boomlet in backyard poultry among the eat-local set, that could perhaps be a going concern again.

On a related note: Mr. Morrison is to be commended for maintaining the building to such high standards. (Check the photos on the company website, linked above.) It definitely earns the coveted "favorite buildings" tag. He's also commended for letting such a rambunctious vine run rampant!
