Art Reception and the Time Capsule


 
                     The Whistle Stop Cafe      
            
 Last night I attended an art reception at the Art Lounge Gallery.  Plenty of art, artists, food, music ,(country of course, ) . The reception  was planned around the event of  a time capsule being  buried in the center of downtown  Plant City,  and not to be opened until the year 2085.
  I won't be attending that!  
Robert Woods  artist,   designed and created the sculpture that sits right on top of the capsule. The unveiling of that piece was last night.  I'm posting some of the photos of the piece, the plaque under which the capsule is buried and some  of the surrounding area.  The sculpture can be seen in front of the building  mural..
  Also The Whistle Stop Cafe, our local eatery.,and   as I was headed home (about 3 miles) I took some photos of the southern looking homes on my way to the other side of the tracks so to speak...    Click on the plaque if you 'd like to read it ..    BJ  .

  2. Alas, I won't be there for the time capsule opening either! LOL But what a fabulous day this sounds to have been. I think I mentioned before that there is a Whistle Stop cafe near us too. It is one of my favorite places to go, in fact. Your Whistle Stop has a prettier building though...

  6. That's a nice creative sculpture sitting on top of the time capsule. Whistle Stop Cafe sounds so little townish. Wonderful old homes. Been a while since I've seen palm trees.
