Jafa Street Hotties LOL! Virgil Hervey posted this funny cartoon on his Yellow Springs Blog, which had me in stitches. If you want to keep up with local news, gossip and opinion then Virgils blog is the place to go. For local news check out Yellow Springs News and for arts and culture the YSarts Blog.
“Local artists Corrine Bayraktaroglu and Nancy Mellon, aka the JafaGirls, stand behind a pole they have tagged with knit graffiti on Dayton Street. Their Yellow Springs public fiber art is featured in the new book, ‘Yarn Bombing,’ from Arsenal Pulp Press.“

he was a guest
Dog-ma-tic
made him erratic
as his rants & lectures raged
Unleashed
not bound to his dunghill
the cock crowed
the audience woke up from their stained dinner
departed
&
once again
he was left alone
to wallow in his own shit
of
ignorant ideology
