After the run, I had had my fill of Virginia Highlands. I went to hunt more adventure. As I passed by this sign, I knew it would be my kind of festival. The other one was a bit too 'suburban' in flavor. Cabbagetown is anything but suburban. It reminds me very much of the Georgetown neighborhood in Seattle: industrial flavor, originally built around a cotton mill that still stand. People were very friendly and unpretentious: a mix of 'roadhouse' tattood gearhead types, ragtag kids in the streets playing chess on a turned over milk crate, and old timers on porches watching the 'festival', which was heavily junk art focused. This is a special neighborhood. I hope the new money that is flowing in, while being necessary and welcome, doesn't destroy the folksy feel.
