The Chalking of Ghent

Colley Avenue is one of Norfolk's most vibrant and fun streets, and on June 5th it became a little brighter during The Chalking of Ghent, an event put on by AltDaily.com and the Ghent Business Association. People of all ages came out to decorate, play, eat, compete, and raise money for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Norfolk. We couldn't resist checking out the art... here's some of what we found:


Changing the world with tacos at San Antonio Sam's...


A block-long PacMan battle...







A little garden




Treacherous terrain!


Plenty of opportunities for hopscotch


Fun for all at the Naro


Button!


A blue dog at Red Dog


A trail of art by Fairgrounds


The scene of a crime...a crime of dancing?


Some funky alien friends


Working hard or hardly working?




Look what we found!


We decided to take part...


...look at that concentration!


Ta-da! Some shameless advertising.
