Google Street Views

I missed this at the new Museum, but am captivated now.  I had the honor of being captured by the google street view cams.  Search 336 Myrtle Ave, Brooklyn and I’m there with a contractor, leaning on a parking meter.

Immigrants playing a larger role in city's economy - Crain's New York Business

Found this picture on Forgotten New York.  They are showcasing Myrtle Avenue this week, past and present.  I link to it blog-style here.  Think this is somewhere in Bed-Sty

Empowering the City: London and New York

Happy Tuesday, where do you want to be today?  Yesterday I spent some of the day looking up plane tickets and planning a mini-escape.  A place with no screens and new night-noises.  I want to walk outside, smell things grow and (mostly) swim and nap near water.  I think I’m going to Honduras in May!

So, I begin each day with a gesture of cynicism and close it with a gesture of faith; or, if you prefer, begin it by reminding myself that, for me at least, goals and objectives are without value, and close it by demonstrating that the fact is irrelevant. A gesture of temporaility, a gesture of eternity. It is in the tension between these two gestures that I have lived my adult life.
