A fine vine for a gray wall in Niagara Falls, New York. A sidewalk and patio of pink concrete.

This was a perfect amount of Parthenocissus tricuspidata for a big blank wall on a sunny June day. I cheerfully imagined that the idea behind the pink sidewalk was that it would lead the residents of Niagara Falls away from the painful experiences of rustbelt times.

 

According to Google Streetview imagery, the patio was soon to be enclosed for use by a new restaurant. If you love restaurants, I suppose you're happy to hear about that!
