The Jumble Shop on the Corner


 

 

 

Outer Chinatown

an array changing endlessly

Washington & 8th 

noted on my neighborhood walks



It is as well the borderland of the old Blues District historical Black neighborhood





Washington Street in Old Oakland was the Italian district

 A small local white population is believed to still exist



 


 

 Native American darkness amid

the outgoing formerly incoming culture's well-lit chintz

 



A meeting of the minds




Happy go lucky

 

 

Realm of the figurines

 

 


Despite the downturns investors keep a hopeful eye on the event horizon



 The mean and wealthy

get meaner and wealthier

 

 


The generous Mother

dream of an ideal


 

Oo la la

Kitsch for all levels of sophistication


Saving for a rainy day

should one ever come




There's an hedonic caste to our luxurious detritis





 Arte pour le chambre

 

 

 

 Brings the sexy in red white and blue

 

 


Blue Boy

We come in all the colors of the rainbow

 

 

 

 Perspective of the caged

 

 

 Aunt Jemima syrup bottle

A pancake mix Mammy figure logo from the 19th century became a household name. An actress portrayed her every day at Aunt Jemima's Pancake House in Disneyland. A bit after that the first widespread fast food chain was of Aunt Jemima's. The icon and the restaurants are now abolished, fondly consigned to the history of ethnic kitsch.

 

 

 


 Knickknack the dog

 

 

Give the bones a dog





Suddenly went Lent


 

 

Easter outfit
