A short trip to Florence....Ave.

Ya wanna giggle? Imagine a neighborhood of super heroes, mermaids and various sundry animals made of junk heap scraps and you've found Florence Avenue in Sebastopol. Like Cirque du Soleil frozen in metal, cruising down Florence is surprise after surprise of cavorting characters created by local artists Patrick Amiot and Brigitte Laurent. These folks are WACK! (In the best possible way.)
