This salon opened its doors to act as a public restroom and community resource center. One or the stylists, Scarlet, told me: "I've never felt so safe here." (In Cap Hill) pic.twitter.com/2RaGrzXsUb

Overall vibe is a cross between a Chill Maidan and a really good regional Burn. pic.twitter.com/IgZ9sT2r6k

I can't give you all a comprehensive accounting of how real this is or how well it all works but the vibe is pretty great. pic.twitter.com/NcWtChE6sp

We meet two men who helped take this place: "I fought for every square inch of this." One tells me "once the Police set up a hard barrier, it was over." He explains that when the police went on the defensive around their precinct, it was just a matter of running out their ammo. pic.twitter.com/2whzDwtVrK

These two decided to come by tonight and take out recycling. "We have been talking with some other people about handling trash disposal" in a more long term fashion, they tell me. "Someone will have to do it." pic.twitter.com/S3RRjar7nq

Here we have another free kitchen, distributing sandwiches and fruit for free. They are taking donations from those who can in order to fund their operations. "We will keep serving as long as we have funding." Venmo in photo. pic.twitter.com/nYIyVumEZD

There are SO MANY happy dogs. His owner tells us she was out on the front line for six straight nights. She thinks it is wild that things are chill enough now for her to bring out her dog. pic.twitter.com/WKh2gPjZdk

Here we see an alley in the process of being turned into a graffiti haven. On the opposite side is a ground level apartment. I avoided taking a photo of it out of respect, but I did get a close in shot of the sign, which has been respected by everyone as far as I can see. pic.twitter.com/Je83xxYs2u

Day one bottom line: still not sure how long this will all last, of what it will mean, but it is an extremely pleasant place to spend time right now and that is fun.

I'm back awake. Bea and I were up till like 6 AM helping out with a guard shift. RE: Raz Simone. Talked to folks who saw him. He and his folks apparently stood guard the first night. He was not around at all last PM / night that I saw. Certainly doesn't seem to be in chaege.

A speaker talks police abolition, and expresses anger that a chunk of the protest movement who are more into police 'reform' are meeting with the city government later today. Pretty strong abolitionist crowd here. pic.twitter.com/JpH8bALSQH
