Shane and I headed over to Georgetown this afternoon for the annual Artopia festival. It was an interesting mix of music, art, food, and just plain randomness. The art was so-so, the kiwi gelato was amazing, and the powertool races were amusing (contestants are asked to convert bits and parts of powertools into moving, race-worthy machines. saw blade wheels seem a bit dangerous to me, but what the heck…). I am so happy to see Georgetown developing into such a fun, vibrant, creative community. But I hope that this neighborhood’s “revitalization” doesn’t translate into it losing all of its original character. The old brick warehouses and junk-filled lots are beautiful (and photo-worthy).
