Photowalk Utah, Ogden Part 2

This is downtown Ogden, to be more specific, this is 25th street. 2 blocks of it. There are lots of antique shops, restaurants, and mom-and-pop shops.

And these.....

There were several bronze statues of kids, they were quiet honestly, creepy. It's not a downtown Ogden thing, it's a Utah thing. They REALLY like bronze statues of random kids. I miss California!

Even though the calender says spring, it's still a bit nippy here, so shops made do with these,

Fake flowers... did I mention I miss California?

So I was walking, walking, walking. Looking into the shops but not wanting to go in, until I see this man in an old fashion barber shop, signaling me to come in.

Man: I see a lot of people taking pictures, are you in a group?
Me: Yes, it's a photography group.
Man: You should go around back this building and take a picture of the sign.
Me: Just around back? Sure.
Man: You should, just around back.
Me: Sure no problem. Can I take a picture of you?
Man: Okay, but I have a jacket on.
Me: Oh, it's no big deal.

But the man didn't stop talking to me about the sign, so I just started snapping away.

I went around back and saw this sign...

The sign looked new, like it was repainted so not really authentic.I'm glad I took the photo for him though, since he went out of his way to tell me about it. He was sweet man.

I really wish I went with a friend... but I found a way to take a picture of myself to document that I was actually there :)
