hikerman: great shot! any chance of getting an updated shot of the 4th avenue station! my grandma used to live right near it just off 8th street and I haven't been to brooklyn in years.

Myke: Great article, thanks for sharing.

in response to The Highline Debate...

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: I could vote for you Jack. Especially if you came through with that chicken. Free range.

in response to X Movie Theatre

GGP: i had not seen this before. great colors and composition--wonderful low-tech and so full of texture. those 2 trees--not just the pink, but the upward-sloping green--are lovely.

in response to Cross Street and Blossom 2002

Liz: I hadn't, but thank you for that, I'm going to go have a shower now . . .

in response to Things I Hate About... Public Transit

EvilGentleman: Waves like that on Lake Ontario? Say goodbye to the beaches, Toronto Island, and a good chunk of Kingston, Oshawa, Ajax, Hamilton, etc...

in response to Meditation Location

GGP: exquisite!

in response to Meditation Location

EvilGentleman: It's ok jack, I don't think they would let me vote for you anyway.

in response to X Movie Theatre

Peter: liz: have you seen this entry?

in response to Things I Hate About... Public Transit

Liz: 78 People who eat on the subway esp. when they lick their fingers. This is one of the grossest things I could possibly imagine, do people realize how many rails/handles/poles they've touched on the way on to the train? Do they have ANY idea how dirty their hands are? Any comprehension...

in response to Things I Hate About... Public Transit

jack: another little note, in the summer, the hot summer days, my friend and i would ride the trolley and look for a young lady with a dress on and wait for a gust of wind to blow up her dress a little to catch a glimpse of stocking or even...

in response to X Movie Theatre

jack: my fellow americans, as your next president i will end all taxation, i will open up the borders to mexico and make sure there is a chicken in every pot in every home, and blah, blah, blah......thx evil but no thx, i enjoy being who i am at this juncture...

in response to X Movie Theatre

jeeff: peter - maybe they think he's polish. cheese string - you're on crack. have you ever tried to make a stencil? if you have stencils that are as good as banksy, please post photos.

in response to graffiti stencil making a statement...

jack: just one more note, if this country makes it legal for mexicans to enter and work and live here and americans to be free to go to mexico and build factories and industries then this continent and mexico could become one nation. we could vacation in mexico, have summer...

in response to Speak Out

Peter: heh. i was trying to sneak into canada to catch a Richie Hawtin show. i ended up meeting some interesting folks in greektown though, and had a great time, albeit a decidedly american one...

in response to Speak Out

EvilGentleman: Now what would a nice Tennessee boy like yourself be doing crossing from Motown to the Canadian version of Tijuana? Small world, ain't it? I have also been held by US Customs on drug charges, until it became apparent that I honestly had no clue that my bonehead friend had...

in response to Speak Out

EvilGentleman: Life is how funny in so many ways. I am 36 years old, and yet even though I am probably younger than some of jack's children, he is so able to press buttons that cause the memories to come flooding back. VOTE JACK IN '08! America is overdue for an Italian-American...

in response to X Movie Theatre

EvilGentleman: I know what you mean about the grand old theaters, as I have watched them all disappear one by one. I remember watching numerous movies in the Capitol Theatre in Cornwall, Ontario. The Capitol has a stage, like so many of the old theaters do, and is fairly well documented...

in response to X Movie Theatre

whisperring pine: RED LIGHT TRAP.

in response to Grand Army Plaza

GGP: the "friends of the highline" folks have really fought the good fight to get to this point--I wish them luck. I think it's a great project and they've done a great job, both in terms of process and (intended) "product."

in response to The Highline Debate...

GGP: that traffic is driving through a mood, joey--somewhere near the intersection of Dour and Pensive. That train is loaded down with killer bees and thimbles of blues.

in response to It Was Wet in Los Angeles

spygirl_t: Despite the storm it still seems so peaceful and very magical, particularily the meditation point. Thank you for sharing these pics. Now only if Lake Ontario could get waves like that...

in response to Meditation Location

spygirl_t: I have been to a few of them in Paris.. I'll try to get some pics posted by tonight. Personally I think it's a great idea, who doesn't want more green space?

in response to The Highline Debate...

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: Transformers, robots hardly in disguise.

in response to robot building

anon (mail.tweezerman.com): There are still parts of Bushwick that are ghetto..that's basically the case whereever you have housing projects. Housing projects cannot be gentrified. The people complianing about those saying that a white neighborhood is safer are "racists".....sorry hood rats, but the truth is the truth. The crime rates speak...

in response to My House in Bushwick

urbanghost: yes it was the flattopped officer. and yes he was about 12-14 by my estimations.

Peter: why do so many people think banksy's name is "bansky"?

in response to graffiti stencil making a statement...

Peter: i love the sentiment of this piece. i wish that neighborhood was still filled with the sort of people that have a zest for life. also: i can only day-dream about riding a trolley to coney island... i bet that was a blast!

in response to X Movie Theatre

Cheese string.: Is it just me or is bansky just over rated. i mean any one can make stencils as "good" as he does.

in response to graffiti stencil making a statement...

Peter: linear parks can be problematic? how about riverside park? its one of my all-time favorite parks in nyc... not only have i spent countless hours lounging about in it on sunny days, watching the river flow by, but i also used it for my daily bike-commute from 47th street to...

in response to The Highline Debate...

Peter: i lightened it up a bit, to get a closer look at that train!

in response to It Was Wet in Los Angeles

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: Is the phone really that low to the ground? Or is it because I'm wearing three inch heels today?

Pavel: fresh tags and t-ups, true bomber...

in response to JA: A True NYC King

kc: My sister's out there on vacation. Meanwhile, yesterday they said it might be the dryest March on record here in NYC. A suffocating sky, and I like that train...Elaine, I know that as "are we there yet?" Is that an American idiom? That "nearly" seems to allow for an infinite...

elaine: or miniatures of all sorts. i would like to see the animals of the ark but all teeny tiny. i always wished you could get miniature zebras so my cat could get a feel for the natural life he was missing, as i released them down the hall...

in response to Smart Car, Smart House

spygirl_t: Chiamattt: Do you have any more pics from Korea? Please most more.. I have to say seeing pics makes me wish I was back in South Asia, I left part of heart and soul back there.

in response to JA: A True NYC King

Stevo: hool has a point, but no one is complaining about the wonderful arctic pictures. How about people who put down stuff on the checkout treadmill or whatever it's called and then run off "to get one more thing I forgot" -and then come back and go in...

in response to Things I Hate About... Grocery Shopping

EvilGentleman: I find this line of posts to be fascinating. It seems that citynoise is now attracting the attention of not just the city dwellers, but the city builders as well. City planning and architecture are such interesting subjects, and we are all affected by it on a daily basis, though...

in response to The Top 15 Skylines in the World

EvilGentleman: Thanks, hool. Sorry for my overreaction. Boy, do I ever feel like an ass right now. Ah well, at least I have learned something out of it, so it pays off in the end. I know enough to know that everything I know is less of one billionth of what...

in response to Things I Hate About... Grocery Shopping

hool: EvilGentleman - relax, it's not a big deal. i understand peter's rebuttal. your posts like this one have been good in encouraging response. i felt this one's particular topic was starting to float a bit beyond 'on topic', so i left a comment. it's not like i...

Peter: wow, eg, what stories. and... for what its worth... i, also, have been turned back by the rcmp at the windsor/detroit footbridge. actually, the exact statement was "go back to america!" due to my expired ID/info. hmm.

in response to Польша, город Lodz

EvilGentleman: And lest someone accuse me of America-bashing because the antagonists in the previous story were so clearly all Americans, Canada is no better. A year and a half later, in December of 1990, my American fiancee, Suzanne and I were crossing the Canada-US border going from Detroit to Windsor, during...

in response to Speak Out

EvilGentleman: On May 5 of 1989, I was in the middle of a long road trip with my best friend, Mike. We were in San Diego, California, after having driven 5000 miles through two Canadian provinces and twenty states in the previous week. We decided to park the car at San...

GGP: a heartbreaking techno-chasm.

in response to Abject Telephone

EvilGentleman: Peter, I shall see what I can do. But for now, I shall let things be, as I do not wish to monopolize any more space in jack's thread than what I already have. jack, my mistake. Not stucco, cinder blocks. Still quite the unique form.

in response to Burning the Flag

Peter: frankly, i just love seeing your korea pics.

in response to Abject Telephone

Peter: LOL SALLY!!!

in response to Prospect Park

Elicar: If America has almost closed her borders, Canada has opened hers. Not only do we accept qualified immigrants with open arms, we have legislated that certain groups be given (more) equal chances in the public service. We have the Employment Equity Act of 1998 www.chrc-ccdp.ca/employment_equity/default-en.asp that ensures that the 4...

EvilGentleman: Why do I have the feeling that this particular desolate location will not wind up becoming the heart of the renewed Brooklyn's new business district?

in response to Abject Telephone

chiamattt: The payphone. Kinda sad to see them slowly passing away.
