Ethnography Results, Week 3

We went tonight, and there was literally no one there besides the bartender, who was on his laptop. This was Wesley and I's first night there, so we took some time to check everything out despite the no crowd. The back wall is a rendition of Van Gogh's Starry Night. Inside, there are just about as many paintings as the walls will hold. Most seem to be of the same style as Van Gogh, though I know literally nothing about art. The outside portion is dimly lit with white string lights that one would typically see at Christmas. The outer wall facing the street has vines about 10 feet high, presumably to help with the privacy. Outside is a bar area that looks like it hasn't been used in quite some time. The outside has a lot of rod iron chairs and tables. The inside is pretty much a bar area and not much else. I wouldn't feel comfortable if there were 30 people in there. It looks as though the initial descriptions as being a very artsy place are right on target. As we were leaving, we noticed that it said it was closed Monday, although it looked like a permanent sign and not a temporary, spur of the moment one. Also, everything was open and all the lights were on, so that made that sign a bit curious as well. Also, The Stafford seemed to be very crowded and hoppin' as we walked by. I kinda wish we had chosen there instead. Oh well, see you Thursday Revolutions.
