Wedding photo shoots were taking place in NoDa two weekends in a row. Apparently NoDa is popular with wedding photogs who want to use worn brick facades as backdrops. Fancy. Oh, oops, they spotted me…

Wheelie man had a new ride when I saw him Uptown last Thursday. Wheelie Man seems to be a man of few words, from the couple of times I’ve spoken with him. Maybe he’s just getting tired of the paparazzi. Or, he is simply a man of action. Here’s a short clip I made of Wheelie Man doing what he does best:

Perhaps “shoe cobbler” would be the correct term. In any case, this gentleman takes pride in his work. Located in Brevard Court off of Tryon Street in Uptown.

Wheelie Man doing what he does best. View this photo on Flickr.If you spend enough time Uptown, you’re bound to see Wheelie Man and his magical wheelie contraption ride on a single wheel for a good city block along Tryon Street. Longer if traffic cooperates. Bill Fehr has a video of Wheelie Man in action on Youtube. Also, check out Bill’s first post about Wheelie Man and his fly ride.
