After shopping
This photo was taken in Old Town Marketplace - an area of old warehouse buildings that had long been vacant and run down. Many of the big old buildings have been renovated, and now have businesses in them. It's a nice old town place to wander around, in Wichita, whether shopping or simply strolling. In Old Town, there are; restuarants, pubs, gift shops, a museum, movie theater, hotels, water fountain for kids to play in, and more. On Saturday mornings, during the summer - there is an outdoor, farm and art market. I imagine many who walk in and out of the shops, end up feeling worn out like the mother and child seen here. Notice the shoe by the mothers foot, her feet must be tired. See the plaque in front of this statue? It reads: After Shopping, and is dated 1979. It goes on to state - Made possible by City of Wichita Public Art Advisory Board - Project Beauty, Inc.

Your City has amazing statues. This one has so much feeling to it. I think I have sat that way too when my kids were small. I can almost hear her sigh.
