Day 1

Day 1 routeHere we go!  Today’s walk starts at Castlewood Park, familiar ground for me and, fittingly, the place where I developed the idea of walking all of Lexington.  Crossing the street to walk down Bryan was exhilarating.  It did not disappoint.  There was a lot to observe on this walk, which consisted of segments of Bryan along the Castlewood Park perimeter and North Limestone as well as Loudon and three neighborhood street (Wittland, Glenn and Burnett) that (for the most part) run between Bryan and Limestone.  Castlewood Park has the Lexington Art League and North Limestone consists of a commercial district with a funky mix (including BroCoLoco and a used restaurant equipment store) that appears to be doing fine.  I would have expected the artsiness to bleed into the neighborhood but it did not seem to have an overwhelming impact on these blocks, which generally felt accessible. A father and son painting the exterior of their house only added to the homeyness.  The neighborhood did feature a community garden.  And a classic car logo encased in the sidewalk!
