The Night The Chargers Won

San Diego Night Painting

One night last winter, the Chargers won a game or something, and the city lit up the library dome in the team colors. This will never happen again. The Chargers never win. for sale

This spot is a few blocks from my house in the Sherman Heights historic district. I went down to try to capture it.

I think of this place as the Carrie House since it reminds me so much of the house in the original Carrie with Sissy Spacek. The architecture is similar, but far from identical.

It’s a happy story of this area of urban renewal- undergoing a slow renovation by a do-it-yourselfer with black chickens in the yard (chickens not pictured). This house is just a couple of blocks from mine- (already renovated, built circa 1905) and recently got a historical designation. I think the plaque outside says it’s from the 1890s.

Market St in San Diego, at the bus stop to points uptown. I live around here.

I started this painting and then went back after probably a couple of weeks and the big green apartment building had suffered a fire in one of the upstairs units. The scorched part wasn’t visible from this vantage point, but it was a weird feeling.
