The mission for the morning was to check out El Mac and Retna's "The Knight." I did the research on the internet. Mac's Knight was on the corner of Jefferson and Chesapeak. The night before I did a cyber driveby using Google Earth and there it was:

I headed down Jefferson Blvd early. I saw a couple of murals on the way out there but I would check those out on the way home. I wanted to get The Knight in first light.
When I got there I found The Knight had been tagged. That's why we take pictures my friends.
I sat and looked at it for a few minutes drinking my coffee. I only took two pictures. And headed back down Jefferson.
Presently I drove by this little gem.
There was a car parked right in front of the painting but I did manage to get a couple of good shots.
I don't know who the artist is but really beautiful, IMO. And the color is nice. I must remember to come by again maybe there won't be a car next time. It's South facing so it's good all day for sun.
Presently I drove by this:
It's moments like this that my eyes pop out and I hit the brakes. I really don't know how I did it but I had driven right by this on my way out.
Mel's Fish Shack...
The color is outstanding.
And... it was about 1pm so clearly lunch time.
I tried the fried oysters and they were to die for. Yum.
The cook was a nice guy. He came over to ask me how I was doing. I told him the oysters were Killer. He smiled and told me I should try the oyster sandwich next time.
Next time....
I got back into my car and head further east on Jefferson.
