You are an urban flâneur if you live in an urban area (city, town, suburbs) and are observing things and pondering about what you saw as a reference to a larger concept. For example, when walking outside you may have noticed a building that strikes you as different. What message was the occupant (if a house) or architect conveying. Or, maybe you noticed an unusual sculpture or poignant graffiti. What was the person saying in this sculpture or graffiti.
If you would also like to do a guest blog entry, I would be interested in posting it.
Send your observations to michaelamcadams@yahoo. com
I will try to post as many as possible.
