Still life with dicks

March 1, 2021 by Dave Knadler

Some miscreants have been spray-painting penises on the streets of our neighborhood. The Facebook reactions have been interesting. Some decry vandalism and the harmful effects on children who may pedal by. Others see vibrant guerrilla art, part of the rich tapestry of life in a supremely chill neighborhood.  I’m somewhere in the middle. Not really vandalism, since nothing is broken. And I doubt it’s going to corrupt […]

Folks you see
out walking

August 28, 2019 by Dave Knadler

My morning walk was cooler than it’s been in awhile. Gray skies and the possibility of rain. Still humid as hell, but when you’re in Florida in late August, a dip into the mid 70s can put a spring in your step. They say those gray skies may portend a Labor Day hurricane, but I’ll go ahead and enjoy them for now. I saw an older black […]

Rachel’s real estate

July 1, 2015 by Dave Knadler

Here we have shrewd business plan: Rachel buys houses, then apparently sells them for about half what they’re worth. The two signs were a block apart here in Springfield, but the handwriting is eerily similar. It reminds me of the way certain Realtors used to put it in the flyers they’d stuff in your mailbox: “There’s never been a better time to buy OR sell!” In short, […]

A few rules for 2015

January 2, 2015 by Dave Knadler

I no longer make New Year’s resolutions for myself, but I’m happy to make them for everybody else. Here are a few that come to mind after another stroll around my Springfield neighborhood: Vehicle owners: Quit parking on the goddamned sidewalk. Seriously, just quit it. I have refrained from keying your splendid ride for quite awhile now, but I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to […]

Time goes by

November 17, 2014 by Dave Knadler

Here’s a little time-lapse video I made yesterday, just because I could. Nothing very dramatic, just another twilight at Casa del Dave in Springfield. That’s the Three Layers wine bar and coffee house across the street. As you can see, it was kind of a slow night. The camera was on a tripod on my porch. I left our resident pit bull outside just to discourage those […]

It was only us

uptown market jacksonville

When the wife and I go out to dinner, there are two conditions I hope to avoid: (a) Not being able to find parking, and (b) being the only customer in the place. Last night it was the latter. We went to the Uptown Market, partly because we really like the food and service there, and partly because they had recently announced new expanded hours and we […]

Sidewalk swine

July 23, 2014 by Dave Knadler

springfield parking hogs

In my neighborhood, people don’t just park on the street. They park on the grass between the sidewalk and street (called the CROW, for City Right of Way). They park on their lawns. They park in the alleys. And they all too frequently park on the sidewalk itself. That last part pisses me off. I guess it pisses a lot of people off here in Springfield: Somebody […]
