The Banana Stand

 

 

This was one of those magical, early summer Pittsburgh evenings where everything was beautiful. The air was the perfect temperature, the bags beneath my eyes took a sudden -- and all together unannounced -- vacation, and Chris and I were on a date to see Maleficent and have some dinner. I've always wanted to take photos in front of this (presumably) defunct banana warehouse (?). I know absolutely nothing about it besides the fact that it smelled terrible, was super dirty and filled with pigeons, and there's a very friendly stray cat that lives there (for anyone living in Pittsburgh that might want a friendly cat that needs a bath, there you go. And yes, it was heartbreaking to leave him behind).

This is the most amazing time of year here. It's hard to believe that just a few months ago, I was shuffling around my ice cold apartment wearing multiple blankets, scarves, and hats in an effort to combat the negative 10 temperatures.

Also realizing very late in the game that high top Converse are where it's at. I remember my very first pair, which looked exactly like these, bought from the outlet when I was seven.
