Fire trucks on Washington Avenue, Brooklyn

Fire trucks at the No. 1 Chinese Kitchen Restaurant on Washington Ave. a couple of nights ago. No sign of a fire, no one hurt, all ok.

A Rainy Sad Day: Bedroom Interior, Scene 1

6:40 yesterday morning, Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn

Stopping to enjoy the lights, on my way to do a work shift at the food co-op.

United States Post Office, Brooklyn, and other adventures

A trip to the slowest Post Office in America, Times Plaza Station, Atlantic Ave., Brooklyn,
with religious peace & love advocates at the crossroads, handing out life-saving/shattering information for the New Year, to read on the subway, perhaps.

While the real deal is to be had a few stops away at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, inside the majick of the new snowfall.

Thanking the goddess, I head home to the funny, funky reality of life on Park Place, with messages from the super, Guss, and a refrigerator in the lobby.

A second-hand store in East Williamsburg does NOT want to take down its Obama sign.

Then in Red Hook, I visit the Ikea.

Other streets, Manhattan.

An East Village evening, then downtown to Puck's Fair, and home again

Holiday Lights and frosty windows at the Horseshoe Bar, East Village

I like this billboard at Broadway and Lafayette. Am I becoming co-opted by advertising?
The billboard in situ, below...
...and a rare train ride, the No. 6 train all to myself...

...on the way to meet up with the No. 4 and then the No. 2, and safely back in Brooklyn town.
