211 you wonder where the culture went

"You kicked all the artists out of the city... And now you wonder where the culture went."

Yesterday, I got excited about an email from this local theater troup claiming they are back.

But only for a taped performance. 

We're starting to get questions about our holiday party and talent show, I think it's the sixteenth annual. We're going virtual. What other options do we have?

I guess alternately we could scale it way back and hold it in the backyard. Although even in sunny California a December evening outside is chancy.

So, yeah, the good news is we may pull some guests from the East Coast and other spots too far to make the party in person. That should be fun.

From crazy unaffordable to still quite unaffordable.

Funny how that selective memory works.
My informal traffic survey tells me car traffic is way up. This sign says bike traffic is up a bit. From what I've seen, neighborhood pedestrian traffic is up, but people commuting to work downtown is way down.

How long will it be before the empty buildings downtown and that first piece of graffiti I posted above have a meeting of the minds?
