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.

Last Day of Fall, First Day of Winter, Brooklyn

Plenty of snow two days ago,
and the radiator in the flat upstairs is leaking through the ceiling. Bucket required.

Also required is a trip to Bellevue Hosptial, in Manhattan, to pick up my meds.
Bellevue is dressed for the season.
At the clinic pharmacy one may wait for quite a while. Take a number and take a seat.

Finally, at the window, the prescriptions are 'processed' and handed over.
It's evening by the time I leave Bellevue Hospital Pharmacy, meds in hand.

The Suburbs of Baltimore This Holiday Season in Close Review

Luncheon, Italian-style.




Later, at the SuperFresh supermarket








Suburban vistas are best seen through the rear-view mirror of one's sister's car.

The Mall, past the Food Court, then back to the condo, below.

Apartment door ushers in the season.

Sometimes I feel as though I spend half my life in a subway station.




The rhythm of the trains, the sound and the atmosphere of the station, and the bustle of other passengers become my complete reality.
It's especially good to play these three movies at the same time.
