We cannot even describe to you what this street consist of and the town that accompanies it (Christiana) also known as "free town" hmmmmm...
well to start off, it is their anniversay weekend of the town so we went on a Sunday the day after a HUGE party had gone on the night before, to tour this lovely town/village. The first red flag was when you looked up from a pleasant walk to a man walking with blood all over his face walking towards you!! ahhhhhhhhhhhh then it all started when you walked underneath the brick structured arch into happyland. we were guided up a staircase that was straight out of a horor movie.. no lighitng, graffiti everywhere and metal stairs use your imagination....not to mention the arama you would smell the night after a raging party! yuck we ended up in a somewhat normal art gallery where we were soon to learn the history of this small town....
the tour started off with an explanation of not having cameras visible on what they call pusher street, for pararnomral tendecies that the residence held, so we began..'
Lets start by descrbing the houses, they are unique and shack like and were painted in bright colors, we have no comparisons in America or at least in Colorado. This was an expereince we have never encountered and to be quite honest hard to describe. considering we could not take pictures of pusher street we will to describe our expereince the best we can otherwise we will post some pics soon and you can form your own opionon of the rest of this town.
"no photo" " no photo" was the first words we heard before entering this horrifying run down street. then we were lead into a street covered in dirt, trees, live music and oh yeah pushers!!!! our tour guide warned us by saying there is so many people there because they would go there and get way to silly to find their way home!!! as you walked on the street everyone would stare and we soon found ourselves walking through a crowd of people listening to one man with guitar singing on a stage, this is how it is everyday here. As we finally surfaced from the pushers we were greeted with a long narrow staircase to a body of water and dirt path... images soon.... as we came out of the forest we were greeted with the backend of pusher street, this time around, our guide was gracious enough to inform us it might be in our benifite to breathe in for ten minutes as we ventured through... She was not lying. All you could see coming at you were beer bottles, cockeyed smiling faces, and stray dogs.. and don't forget the little kids! yep, kids. We have never had such an overwhelming sence territory and curiosity in all of our lives, lets just say we didn't stick around for lunch. No worries mom's .. We made it out alive and have absolutly no intent of ever doing drugs!.. it was quite an amazing experience to say the least. We hope to never walk down another Pusher Street again. It was inlightning to see they way these people lived and we are intrigued by this different and unintended use of sustainability. This trip would not have been as meaningful without this chaotic street.! We hope you enjoyed this adventure as much as we did and can imagine what we experienced. Pics soon..
