they're great. who are these distinguished gentlemen? i guess... politicians!

i think the third one from the left looks like napolean. you know the french guy on the courvoisier ads. a lovely photo. looks like a drive by shooting- a photo taken from the car window.

we collect the smaller, 'fireplace mantle-sized'busts. typically classical musicians and politicians. the desirable ones for us are made of chalk. we also have plaster ones and one made of plastic. kind of like a dog's chew toy.

Laura : Looks like our past Presidents

ian: Amazing. Where in town is this?

Michael-Ann: 12th Sep 2005 - 14:36 GMT

A little alley near the corner of Washington and Awyer - the lot is open 24-hours for anyone who wants to look.

how interesting... and at the same time, enigmatic.

jeeff: 13th Sep 2005 - 18:41 GMT

shit, imagine walking down a little alley and finding this. i'd freak out.

HAHA! I came across this and found it absolutely wonderful, and i believe those are presidents

Very definately US Presidents. I can make out William Harrison, maybe Zachary Taylor, Ulysses Grant with the beard, then maybe Taft, Cleveland, Truman and Eisenhower. I believe the first 2 in the foreground are Bush Sr. and maybe Herbert Hoover.

Actually might be Andrew Johnson next to Harrison.

Timelapse Kittens on Chrystie Street


my walk from work to the subway takes me past here every day-- the security gate is always about six inches open, and the cats who make their home under it look well-fed and content, if a bit out of...
