Chomp & Stomp Chili Cook-Off and Bluegrass Festival

 

 

At last! Chili Cook-Off weekend has arrived!

 

 

 

 

From the beginning.

Picked up a friend at her Midtown studio.

While waiting, gazed through my sunroof.

 

 

 

Parked our car and walked to the festival.

Passed a Charlestonesque house.

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Through the tunnel we go.

 

 

 

Officially in Cabbagetown.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 $5 a spoon begins here.


 

 

Pick a chili, any chili.

And then pick some more.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not only "free beer" but free music.

...1 free beer if you like "Oliver's Antics" on FB.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This chili had ox tail in it!

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Upper 70s in the beginning of November calls for a little ice cream.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Popsicle transaction happening.

KING OF POPS
 

Local ATL popsicle makers.
Unique and delicious flavors.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...then chili-goers get sloppy.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spicy and sweet.

 

 

 

 4 hours later we hit the road back home.



Atlanta Streets Alive Festival

Play Black Keys "Gold on The Ceiling" while viewing this post.

Virginia Ave. (my street) and North Highland Ave. were blocked off to promote Ponce City Market and the Atlanta Beltline. Lots of bike-riders, lots of walkers. A cool and crisp fall initiation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love fringe on shoes...but not like this. Fashion no-no.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was so fun to watch...all the kids in front of us googling at those

hip hop stars doing their thing.

 

 

 

 

 

Harmful dogs.

 

 

 

 

 

I used to play street hockey in my neighborhood back in the 90s!

Isn't that sort of a 90's thing?

 

 

...Guess not. I wore rollerblades when I played.

 

You've Been Noted photographing and interviewing well dressed folks at the festival!

Go check out their Tumblr. It's a great fashion blog based in Atlanta, Ga!
