Bleeding Heart neon
I'm getting the impression that the place before Bleeding Heart moved in was also a bakery, and they just built extra signage on top of the old. Reuse, recycle. Good way to live up to their ethic if that's the case.

Charity Cakes
I should've asked what was going on here. I was a little surprised, to be honest. All the cops I remember from my days in Chicago, save for this one guy this one time, were terrible. Tyrannical, even. Still, it's a dangerous city, and those that gave their lives should be remembered.

Velvet Revolver cake
I feel kind of stupid because I didn't know there was a band called Velvet Revolver, so I just thought, cool, gun cake. Sheesh.
Bleeding Heart's baked goods are all organic, sometimes vegan, always tasty. The red coloring of the cake in the middle, the label says, comes from red currants and beet juice.

Bleeding Heart exterior
A local friend and I were driving down Belmont to get lunch, when we passed this place. "What's THAT?" I asked enthusiastically.
"Oh, yeah. They opened a punk rock bakery while you've been gone."
Of course we stopped on the way back.

I love crafty punks.

Heartland Café general store wares
The Heartland's general store sells things like coffees, teas, condiments, all-natural bath and body wares, t-shirts, candles, books on surrealist art, magazines... and apparently, electric guitars.

Heartland Café general store
The front room of the Heartland is their general store, with the bar and restaurant areas connected in adjacent rooms. Everything they sell reflects the politically progressive views of the ownership and staff. They also have the only photobooth in the neighborhood!

Heartland Café exterior
They've got both a covered and uncovered outdoor patio which sees a lot of use at night in the warmer months, with the sound of conversation occasionally interrupted by the sound of the Red Line El rumbling by.

Heartland Café entrance
A wooden arch marks the entrance to the Heartland Café, a colorful break from the neighborhood's relentless brownstones. During the warmer months, you can usually find at least a couple folks sitting outside in the evening.

Who's stacking these rocks?
Our local friends had been driving us along the shore of Oahu's windward side, stopping along different sights, parks and beaches along the way. We pulled over across the street from the Crouching Lion Inn, asking if we wanted to see it.
My two friends from the mainland and I looked at each other, shrugged. Nah.
"You sure?" Vanessa asked us. "You don't want to take any pictures or anything?"
Sarcastically, I poked my camera out the window and snapped. "Got it. Let's go."
I'm still not sure who's stacking rocks all over, and why.

I am not sure of how to travel; when I go somewhere new, I usually do a bit of aimless wandering to figure out what it's like to be a local, hang out in the neighborhood where I'm staying, maybe visit a couple of interesting locales I read about or had recommended. Once I'm comfortable there, then I can play tourist.
I'm also this site's resident web developer, hey there!
