In the run up to this past weekend’s Art in the Park, I really had little to no interest in it. I probably felt like I had seen a lot of the art in years past. I also knew it would be hot and, quite honestly, I don’t like walking around on pavement in the [...]

One of the things I hoped to do with this blog was feature local architecture. Frankly, though, it is not as easy as I thought to gather meaningful information and photographs, and write about them, as a hobby. If this were my full-time gig, things would be different.

Before starting it I had all kinds of ideas of the things I could write about Plymouth: culture, art, architecture and events. Lately, though, I’ve found myself slipping almost entirely into something of [...]
