Jerry and Darnell Klumpp and I drove over to Bisong Gallery
to see the exhibit Marilyn, Lost
Photographs of a Hollywood Star. These are photographs of Marilyn Monroe
that have not previously been published. Many are taken by personal friends.
Some are on movie sets or on movie locations. Interesting show. It will be at
the gallery only through Saturday of this week. Jerry and Darnell talked
extensively with the couple that collected the images—I listened.
Bisong is in the vicinity of the Nance Hardy Studios. We
walked around the neighborhood taking photographs, mostly strange parking
meters, texture and graffiti. A couple of the old homes that are falling down
that Debi, Alcy and I have photographed in the past are no longer very
photogenic. They have been boarded up and painted to conceal all their
character. Glad we got there when we did.
As we were waking back to the car we passed this door that
said, “Knock and Wait.” Jerry and I both shot photographs of the door and as we
were walking away Jerry asked if it was a restaurant. Although there were
tables with umbrellas along the side, I wasn’t sure and asked if they were
hungry. Parked along the street were fairly upscale cars, Audi’s, a BMW and a couple
of Lexus. Darnell mentioned that it looked like a fairly okay clientele. The knock
and wait sign along with one posted in the window saying that the meter maids
circled the block every fifteen minutes suggested a little Hernando’s Hideaway atmosphere
so I mentioned that maybe we should consider that crime also pays well. We
decided to chance it. Jerry went back and knocked on the door. When a young
lady answered he asked if it was a restaurant. She said it was so we all went
in. Interesting atmosphere, Mexican. I decided to chance the Enchiladas and asked
for the carne gravy on the side just in case. The Enchiladas were excellent, the
prices reasonable. We really enjoyed it so I have one more place where I can
eat.
