Dick's on Wallingford (Wallingford, Seattle, Washington)... Dick's on Broadway (Capitol Hill, Seattle, Washington)... Dick's Drive-In is a small local chain that's a Seattle institution, which I discovered on my recent trip to the area. I passed most of its five locations, and found them constantly packed, seeing people queued up for burgers at 10:30am and idly standing in line for fries at 2 am... And according to Sir Mix-A-Lot, its "the place where the cool hang out". www.ddir.com

Keep Queens Clean!

My, how Queens keeps things on the clean tip... I spotted this while visiting a pal who lives off of the Steinway stop in Queens, NY... There was a little mouse in the trash, too, but you can't see him in the photo...

Abandoned... NY State Pavilion

author: Peter : Queens, NY

Inspired by this post, I recently accessed the abandoned and decaying New York State Pavilion, designed by Philip Johnson for the 1964 New York World's Fair... One of the decaying elevator cars that originally took passengers to the cafeteria and observation deck above... An airplane approaching LaGuardia Airport in Queens... Looking up towards the observation decks... It makes me sad that such a magnificent structure has been left to decay and crumble... maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&t . . . 0156&z=16&iwloc=addr&om=1

Full Moon Over Queens

author: Peter : Queens, NY

Full moon and the Unisphere in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in Queens, NY... I must remember to take my longboard next time, and carve in the crazy-large, smooth, perpetually empty fountain below the sculpture...

A Snow Falls in Brooklyn

author: Peter : Brooklyn, NY

Today found the fist snow (that stuck) falling in Brooklyn. I snapped these shots from the Myrtle Avenue J/M train station while waiting to transfer trains to get to Manhattan's Lower East Side for an event that I will soon post an entry about... Yay snow! I love it... at least until it gets gray, slushy and diesel-scented... you know? I suppose its getting time to break out the flask, thermos of coffee and sleds! [where: 11221]
