Houstonist Flickr Photo of the Day - Poem on Pavement

The shot from flickr user and Houstonist photo contributor Charles Chopper Chavez.

Last week, we featured photos of sidewalks asking if they were helping humanity and menacing a person in sneakers. Today, we find another active Houston sidewalk — one that's sharing a poem by Evangelina Vigil-Piñón, a San Antonio-born writer, songwriter, teacher and television producer who lives in Houston and teaches at UH. Vigil-Piñón's poem is one of several similar panels set into downtown sidewalks; be sure to keep an eye out for them next time you're on foot there. (And if you decide to share something with the sidewalk, feel free — downtown, no one will give you a second look if you're whispering to the pavement.)
