| 10/8/26 Pinehurst Station. Despite the blah scene, all the nearly monochrome grayness were an interesting tonal challenge with my limited palette of markers. |
After much delay (and related local political strife), a new
light rail station opened recently. Only a couple of miles north of Northgate
station, it seemed unnecessary – unless it had plenty of parking to ease the
congestion at the Northgate lots (which I only rarely encounter because I usually
walk to the station, but when I do need to drive, I know parking can be a
problem). In addition, I thought it might be worth scouting the new Pinehurst station
for USk potential. I wasn’t optimistic, but in the winter, we get desperate for
sheltered locations, and some stations can have decent views from the platform
level.
My assessment: extremely meh. Although Pinehurst has some colorful murals, I didn’t see much of interest. Numerous large rocks were placed throughout the station – as seating? Hmmm. In addition, it’s very noisy from Interstate 5 traffic just below the station.
Well, you know me: Since I went there with an InkTober sketch in mind, I embraced the meh.

| At least there are colorful murals. |
