Chalk Message on Mill Street Store Steps During COVID-19

Entry/Object ID

2020.01.13

Description

A digital photograph depicting chalk drawings and messages on a doorstep. The steps are at 72 Mill Street (Cheerfully Made store). The background of the image is a yellow door with a window in it. In the window a closed sign can be seen. To either side of the door there are two large glass windows surrounded by white trim, and there are signs and items visible in the windows. It is night, so there are some reflections on the windows that make it difficult to see in perfectly. The foreground of the image shows chalk messages written on a stone step and landing. On the landing in front of the door, the chalk reads "you look NICE TODAY", with "NICE" written in yellow chalk and the other words written in blue chalk. Below that, there are two cartoon flowers drawn in chalk with blue or white petals and yellow pistils/centers. Below the landing is a step, upon which the words "#ForeverFriendly" are written in blue chalk. The 'y' in "Friendly" is cut off by the edge of the photograph. "Friendly" is written very messily, and there is light reflecting off it that makes it hard to see clearly. This image was captured during the COVID-19 pandemic.
