Night falls. The smell of Papaya King hotdogs fills the air. People move through the crowded summer street. This is June, at 86th & 3rd.

note the lack of graf/tags/stickers on the mailbox, lamp-post or box... this is definitely the upper east side ;)

GGP: 28th Jul 2005 - 18:33 GMT

the red post is an old fire alarm system used to contact the fire dept. in an emergency...a system now long-defunkt.

Ah.... Papaya King. 86th and Lex is my subway stop. I've been eating papaya king forver- my third word was "hotty-di." Recently, though, my cravings for papaya king have gotten the better of me. I was on the Papaya King Diet (nothing but) for a week or so..I have had to change my route home so as not to walk by the place on my way home. Its so good, though!

very good. a part of my growing up in this neighborhood.
back in the 1960s and 1970s, across the street, was a German beer and frankfurter place called BERLIN BAR. Incredible franks and orange and grape drinks. 2 hot dogs, plus a drink, for a $1.50, if memory serves.

Another Small Town


And so I find myself, once again living in the country. In an historic market town in the heart of the Wolds. Today just as it was in Roman times, is one of those nowhere-in-particular places. The Romans...
