in fayetteville arkansas
there was a small fringe the artist could survive in
it was calld dickson street
but now more likely knowd as dickson street inc.
this is the alley
i walkd to get to
my last studio on dickson street
it was a big loft
dickson street has changed alot
over the years
but the locally ownd dickson street book store is still there
and georges majestic still has its beer garden
where in the summer ur gonna find
college professors, hippies, redneks, bankers and a few artist dancing
to the blues or maybe the Cate brothers
the old rail road and the bridge
that crosses dickson
was something i usd to draw alot
one day just before i movd
my girlfriend and i were walking on it
and cops tried to arrest us for
trespassing
(it was teh begginnning of the enddddd)
the UARK is an old movie theatre
that the sonnemans used to own
that now sells posters and stuff
its hard to explain
how an art center
can damage art in a small town
but the Walton Art Center movd in
with proctor and gamble
and soon enough
Dickson became an expensive place to be
and the local art supply store
on dickson went out of business
A Boy and his Dog
painting by Kelly Moore
but with the great recession
condo develpers and speculators
went bust
and sure enough Dickson may well be
un desire able soon enough
making the cycle complete
for a few more weeds
to spring up
on dickson street
