Virginia Commonwealth University is located in this area. Instead of occupying giant, soul-less modern buildings, many VCU offices and classrooms are located in rescued old brownstones and mansions located throughout the neighborhood.
This witty flower display is located in front of a chic hair salon. I fell in love with it. The salon occupies a sweet old building, an early 1900's house painted that lovely green accented with lavender. The lady in the tub is bathing in purple petunia bubbles.
I've seen old claw-footed tubs used for flowers before, but the mannequin and the petunia bubble bath took a lot of imagination.
