GGP: that yellow skull looks a little TOO happy, no? it's like, "I'm psyched to be so deadly--AND so misspelled!"

in response to The horror and filth of a taxi garage in Chicago

GGP: isn't it, though? when i saw poor voo-voo, I just knew I'd seen its likeness somewhere!!

GGP: go, pet bird, go!!

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

in response to Crooked Post

ea: that would explain the recognition, having just been down there

in response to shipping graf

Peter: isnt that logo an image of the transamerica building in sf? i think its from a pacific shipping company.

in response to shipping graf

ea: that red/white spire image in the foreground of the first photo...? I feel like I see that around, but can't recall if it's a commercial logo or on some small black/white stickers. hm. or maybe it's nice that I can't tell the difference. branding, either way.

in response to shipping graf

elaine: and awful. as if it isn't hard enough for young asian and black men in this culture as it is

in response to Service Information?

elaine: so good use of spray mount is my guess

in response to new junction stencils

fuego: especially if you look a bit foreign? (as opposed to a lot foreign?) that's priceless....

in response to Service Information?

piranha erem: oh yes! i see that. i thought it was black-on-white-on-green but now i see it is just white spray on the green with the stick-man as the stencil.

in response to new junction stencils

talkingsupermen: I read that book a few years ago. Interesting to see the pictures. Thanks for the post!

in response to henry horner projects

Peter: here in nyc, "anxiousness" is another one of the "tell-tale" signs that you might be a terrorist, ha... the cops have been instructed to search anyone who looks suspicious (despite our constitutional guarantee that decrees all americans will be free of search/seizure without just cause... so many are up in...

in response to Service Information?

elaine: d'you know, the thing is as well it seems that the guy was actually wearing a jeans jacket and used the ticket barrier with a travelcard, rather than jumped over it... ahem! just a bit of a total scandal

in response to Service Information?

piranha erem: what I really want to see is a closer photograph of the stick-man on the white paint on the right side ;-)

in response to new junction stencils

elaine: gallows humour from suicide city... imagine working for LU or the busses just now, especially if you tend to be a bit anxious anyway!

in response to Service Information?

piranha erem: 'This notice is for your own safety' doesn't necessarily mean that it will make me feel (or actually be)any safer! Especially if I run (i do often run when I am in a rush travelling to get the train, who doesn't?) carry a rucksack (I do daily, who doesn't?), wear...

in response to Service Information?

elaine: o freud, where art thou?

in response to new junction stencils

in response to new junction stencils

Franny Wentzel: Took piccy of this one back in 2002...

in response to Vespas!

elaine: same, but i just offer this as a comparison so you can see what i mean too, but it is ambiguous surely? i look at it and i really don't know for sure now, it was the context that made me see that and the scratches and the propensity for...

in response to new junction stencils

piranha erem: show a photo of how they shoot the bird in the uk

in response to new junction stencils

elaine: ok, but look

in response to new junction stencils

piranha erem: what is the red post?

in response to Crooked Post

piranha erem: yeah it does look like he is shooting the bird, but they shoot the bird differently in the uk so maybe a tool?

in response to new junction stencils

piranha erem: wow what a story!

in response to The Tale of Tom

SadStateOfAffairs: Those two buildings on LeMoyne are the ugliest fortresses I have ever seen. They are for sale and nobody wants to buy, I wonder why. The Blue Light is off for a few days because an 18 wheeler took it out. To see a case study in how dependency doesn't...

elaine: very nice graf, even down to the detail in the wrench/stripper thing, you just know from looking at it it's one of those ratcheted tools, fantastic detail. i know someone who works in telecoms and he was remarkably off hand about it all, and i doubt seriously i will ever...

in response to new junction stencils

michelle: In a related but unrelated story. I tutor kids at the Chicago Park district...Horner Park to be precise. On Tuesday they unveilled a huge painting Horner.

Peter: fascinating... id love to know more about whats up with those boxes, why theyre always busted open, and what people are doing with/to the innards! nice graf, though. the white eyes are a nice touch.

in response to new junction stencils

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

in response to Crooked Post

Peter: wow, this is the sort of entry i really love seeing... conveying images and facts to me about somewhere id never otherwise have the chance to even know about, much less see. thanks a lot... also: that rules that you got a photo of the now-demolishd building.
