Graffitti in Rio Pequeno

I've been impressed by this drawing...
it's on the wall of a commercial building on Avenida Politécnica...
Rua Professor José Kliass...

Avenida Rio Pequeno runs at the end of Prof. Jose Kliass Street.
Avenida Escola Politecnica runs across it...

Rio Pequeno during FIFA's 2018 World Cup's Brazil x Serbia

I have a friend called Zé Luiz who lives on the East Side. We usually meet once a year to reminisce old times and catch up with whatever we have done in the last 365 days. Sometimes I go to Arthur Alvin and others Ze comes to Rio Pequeno.

This year, our meeting day coincided with a match between Brazil and Serbia for FIFA's 2018 World Cup straight from Russia. We thought it would be an awsome thing to go out while the match was being played so we could see the Streets of Rio Pequeno with as few people as possible...

Here are some of the photos we took on the afternoon of 27th June 2018

Rio Pequeno fashion...

As soon as you enter Rio Pequeno you can't help but notice this beauty parlour on the left-hand side of Avenida Rio Pequeno...

It's got two photographs on its walls... one of a handsome young men that one cannot help but know it is a kind of Northern European youth. The girl on the right is more ordinary with her dyed hair. 
As this beauty parlour is situated exactly opposite a busy bus stop I kept looking at the young man's photo and wondering who he could be... until I found his name and more of his photos in the Internet. 
This is one of the many busses that takes you to Rio Pequeno...
