Some of Brooklyn, Some of Manhattan including Ground Zero, and a side trip to New Haven, CT

The Chinese take-out at Nostrand and Lafayette

Waiting forever (2hrs) for the Megabus to Baltimore, standing in the hot sun, the Megabus staff being anything but kindly. Never doing that again!

Some people avail themselves of organic fruit shakes whilst waiting for their bus.

When you're tired, mirrors and lights become the place - Cafe Lafayette, Brooklyn

A perfectly happy tree, Van Buren Street, Brooklyn

A visit to Ground Zero, as it were. They're constructing a monstrosity - a shopping mall to honor a catastrophe. It looks to be an alien spacecraft.

Quintessential BKLYN, Nostrand Ave. near Willoughby

Jingle jangle morning, Flatbush Ave. at Lafayette, Brooklyn - lotsa traffic

New Haven, CT, is a rough town. But who can decipher this image of who is so "murdered & missing?"

New Haven, un-lovely, except for the occasional colonial-era cupola, revealing where the coastline used to be.

This Christmas cactus dates back to the 1880s

Another thing I love to see when I visit New Haven is Marcel Breuer's Armstrong-Pirelli Tire Building, used as a billboard these days by Ikea

Ground Zero, then off to Bklyn - Washington Avenue and Grand Avenue

Went one day looking for the old tourist marker - the pre-9/11 marker - but it had just been removed for safe-keeping. Being there was strange. I felt like crying, which I didn't anticipate. There's nothing much to see at ground zero.

Back to civilized Brooklyn, and a laundrymat (that is OPEN) with a curious display of plant life in the window.

This favorite building on Washington Ave. posted on February 5, but the rock's been moved from the front of the building to the side. Wonder what's going on with the rock?

Found along Grand Avenue near Gates - a square trash can with a round lid.

The pedicab from previous post March 9, now parked on Bergen Street at Grand.

A block away from my favorite giant yellow storage place at Atlantic and Washington is this orange and blue one, at Atlantic and Grand. I somehow like it a lot less than the yellow one. It's less enthusiastically emblazoned with signage. More business-like, less cartoon-like.
