"From a Model to a Rainbow" is the title of a Sam Gilliam mural installed on 2011 near the Takoma Metro Station. On the way to pick up nachos and tamales, 🤖 surveys a northwest DC neighborhood, finds a secret steep staircase cut-through to an alley, a narrow dirt path by the train tracks, and countless brilliant blossoms of front-yard flowers. Twin alabaster ladies wear leis and towels that are slipping. (Don't ask about how they look from behind!) Scratched letters on fresh sidewalk cement say, "You'll Never Find a Rainbow Looking Down!"
