Groovy beasts in the East Village! Yeah, so what else is new, eh? Still this Travis Louie cat is splendid with the pencil. You can see his monsters here, or go see them live at the Fuse Gallery on 93 Second Avenue.
Granted it’s hard to beat NYC. As Wired pointed out awhile back: “It’s got 468 stations, 842 miles of track and twice as many daily riders (5 million) as every other rapid-transit system in the United States combined.” That said, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Paris, & London are all pretty darn impressive. Check them, and several others, out here.
And as good as these subways are, Crooked Brains has a post on Subway Stations that could be even better. Check it out!
When I was around ten I learned to “Walk The Dog”, “Rock The Baby”, and “Round The World”. I was IT. Why? Because I had a YO-YO, and, boy, could I do some mean tricks! I think it was a “Satellite” which was a butterfly shaped yo-yo that lit up when you made it “sleep”. At that time, it was pretty much the definition of cool.
Oh, how love can grow deeper by the day!
Sure, it’s seedy, but some things are meant to stay that way. I have had many fond memories first found out at Coney Island. I wish some things could never change. This is a nice series to get those memory synapses firing, courtesy of the NY Times.
Last month I tried to watch a good movie on what I thought was my big screen TV. I knew the film would have been better if I had been in the theater. Now, I think I will check out this site first the next time I get an urge to stay home instead of seeing something on the big screen. If this doesn’t remind of the truth of cinema, nothing will. Plus it’s good for the homesick blues when I am out of town for too long. It’s all NYC panoramas!
Back in June, I posted an idea (or rather two) on how to improve the NYC Subways. I still haven’t found the MTA suggestion box, but I do have a NYC Subway Improvement Idea for July. This time it’s just a borrowed idea from my travels.
