The West Broad and North Robinson Street stretches seem to have been photographed toward dusk. I don’t see many people out on the sidewalks. I register this when I’m enjoying my pedestrian pleasures, I guess, how I can pass several blocks and not see any one enjoying the bloom of spring on the bosky Fan streets. But using this Google Maps view, I’m reminded of that “Omega Man” film with Heston, or maybe “28 Days Later.” Weird. A bicyclist here on Robinson, a woman talking on her cell phone near Floyd and Robinson, and on the street where I live, nary a soul stirring. Spooky. Where did all the people go?
