Times Square, one recent balmy evening


Bank of America's glowing lobby - do we the people own this bank yet?

B of A's lonely security staff...surrounded by all that money...


Big screen instructions on how to use the ATM, which is quite red.
Then down the road there's a crowd watching a game at a tourist bar.



But saving the best for last, as I am about to enter the neon luminance of the 42nd St./Times Sq. subway stop one fishnet-clad mini-kilted commuter decides to give us a show for free.




Enough of that nonsense... time to head home.

Oot 'n Aboot

The Grace Building on 42nd Street, just a block or two from Times Square. I love this building.
The Grace Building lobby getting prepped for the holidays.


And at Time Square, the spectre looms.



Then later, as one approaches one's apt. building...
one notices that Guss, the super, has been hard at work.



I went to an art opening one evening, but found this couch and fire hydrant arrangement to be of greater interest - East Village.

Having a few at the local, Soda, on Vanderbilt Ave. in Brooklyn


This arrangement on Park Place, Brooklyn, persists - persistence is everything.


Morning coffee and breakfast at Tom's Restaurant, Washington Ave., Brooklyn - the haunt of cops and hipsters alike.





Lower Manhattan



Old fashioned NYC coffee shop and bar across from Grand Central Station.

Then back to Brooklyn for some accidental symmetry...

and the purplish rock-like creations of Brooklyn artist Rudy Shepherd.

A day of errands and running around town.

Started the day off in Times Square.

Then at the 42nd Street subway stop, waiting for the train back to Brooklyn.
And back in the hood, to snap the Obama signs in store windows.




And Hallowe'en decorations...and the curious arrangement of stuffed animals in this front yard.Then back to the city to see what's on at the Guggenheim Museum. I got there right at closing time and only saw this projection on the museum's facade. This type of work makes me (1) hate museums, and (2) hate art and (3) hate artists who make work for museums.
