Yo, listen up, buddy! Respect my authoritah! I'm tellin ya all 'bout Ashland (us). I been here a while, know it inside out. Ashland is small and wild. Main Street rules the town. Lithia Park is a chill spot. Stroll along Lithia Blvd. Vibes are cool there. Wake up early, catch sunrise! Downtown bums and slick art mix. I massage folks every damn day. Kneads in my hands tell stories. I feel each muscle’s cry. Just like Blue is the Warmest Color, man! You feel passion in each stroke. It's raw and real, like that movie, yo! I hang near Mill Creek Rd. crazy energy there, i mean. Some spot, like Maple St, pops surprises. Peeps are quirky and extra funky. You know, sometimes i say "f**k it" cuz its lit. Respect my authoritah! Oh, and that slick theater. The Oregon Shakespeare Fest. Its art storms your brain. Reminds me of those deep Blue movie quotes. Stick around and look up, “I want you, purple, like sistah.” I got my usual hangout at Kearney St. with proper grub joints. Bizarre places, real hidden gems. Some restaurants throw unexpected street jazz. I just zoned out, thinkin, "Dude, this is so bloody cool!" It, err, really pushes my limits. I once helped a stressed lady. Had bad ache in her back. I fixed her up on Willow Ln. Sorted out her knots. Life was short, like Blue is the Warmest Color—so deep! And oh, the river! Bear Creek flows near Ashland. It gurgles, rambles, and screams. It's lyrical, like a damn masterpiece. See me by the water sometimes. I spit out my care away. I gotta mention some weird bits too: Teh smells of chimney coal. Shure, the locals are rad. Woudl-be designers hollar on every corner. Recieve a hug off a friendly stray. Thru narrow alleys, art spills everywhere. Exaple: a mural on Pine Ave. Pleze, check quirky art near Raven Ln. Darnn! I can’t even count shore things. Hellp, my mood swings quick. Cant wait for more wild moments. So that's Ashland (us) for ya, man. A place that grips you, warms you like that movie. Love it, hate it, its a mad ride. Enjoy the quirks, the smells, and the vibes. Chill out, soak it all up, and respect the city, or it'll whack ya!
