Peter: yeah that tandem trackbike is the first thing everyone noticed when they come in!

in response to Bicycle Station

Balloonhedz: thanks for the kudos :-) I hope the renovation includes serious exterminator work..Im sure theres lots of critters there to be dealt with. Unfortunately the gentrification is whats making the area attractive.

in response to 14th St smoke

colavito's ghost: What a cool- and fast-looking tandem. I've never seen a tandem track bike before, wow!

in response to Bicycle Station

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: Sheila, I got the shot from my office windowhere and went out one drunken night and got these. Glad you liked NYC. It's a hell of a place.

Sheila,England - 4th Nov, 05: Visited your fantastic city in June - what a place! These photos are just awesome! It is a beautiful building and seeing it from higher up is amazing! Bring on Grand Central!

in response to My window on the Chrysler building

jeeff: is that a new 'illegal graffiti crue' tag? i remember seeing one on here before.

in response to Ilegal Grafitti Crue

elaine: well, i guess it's tricky getting men to want to get tested, so if you can help them identify with someone who is a role model or a "desirable" commodity i suppose it might work...

in response to Must Do Crack!

elaine: little handies...

in response to good runner, needs a little work

Peter: though imagining biggie getting tested for prostate cancer... thats another mental image entirely...

in response to Must Do Crack!

elaine: hahahahaha!!!!!

Peter: no, after burnout comes the good runner, heehehehe...

in response to abject objects

elaine: fab! imagine someone turning up on your doorstep with curry and tea already made and on a tray? it's like a dream... thanks, catherine, for your kind words, and you are right about the site, it has been my lifeblood over these past months

in response to abject objects

elaine: looks like it to me, but then, i am a clinic full of cynics

in response to Must Do Crack!

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: I also read the eye of the storm and I'm blown away. I've been enjoying getting to know you guys through your pictures, stories and comments. This is a wonderful, human site, where we all inspire each other. Elaine, after burnout comes refuel. Then you'll fly higher than ever. And if...

in response to abject objects

Peter: the guy in the billboard on the second photo reminds me of biggie for some reason. i wonder if that was intentional?

in response to Must Do Crack!

elaine: heh, well, i'm nothing if not consistent!

in response to abject objects

elaine: nice looking site

in response to Thundercut

Peter: heh! so true.

in response to One bedroom apartment

Peter: ahh, i love that entry. thanks for the link- it prompted a reread :)

in response to abject objects

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: If it was in Manhattan you could get away with sub-letting it. To a family. Of five.

in response to One bedroom apartment

elaine: see also eye of the storm

in response to abject objects

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: Yeah, I've been posting some Astoria, Queens stuff as New York (which it is) but I'll be more distinct in the future. Astoria Rocks! And if that Teddy is still there when I get home, I'll take it, (wash it) hug it and call it George (or Jesus).

in response to Like Christ

misspick: this is simultaneously hilarious and sad. nice score.

in response to Ilegal Grafitti Crue

Peter: ill see what i can do. its hard to get good shots of moving quarry with the cameraphone, but theyre numerous enough- as are stop-lights, so maybe ill get lucky one of these days, heh.

in response to Like Christ

elaine: i want one

in response to One bedroom apartment

Peter: thanks elaine! a personal/partial/summary is exactly what i was looking for :) neighborhood vibes are interesting. we have proximal areas that sound just like those places here in nyc...

in response to abject objects

elaine: i quite like seeing teddies on a garbage truck, it makes up a bit for the pong hey, peter, how about some pics?

in response to Like Christ

elaine: hum. west end is where the theatres and big shops are and tourists go and the queen lives. not that many people live there, but it would be good to live there if you were young and wanted to go out all the time. there are loads of different localities...

in response to abject objects

Peter: beats being tied to the front of a con-ed/garbage/delivery/fresh-direct/cargo truck, heh! ever see that? its like every other delivery/work truck has a stuffed animal, doll or mask on its front. its weird. also: i really like that youre representing queens on here, as we havent had much content from that borough....

Peter: this photo is brooklyn, in a nutshell.

in response to Etc.

Peter: totally absolutely great. these look so nice. a slice of life. i, for one, also cant wait to see more!

in response to Hong Kong, 1978

elaine: not to worry steelisreal socialist, i will do it, just not right this very moment. it's not a massive bother, but i am not always terribly mobile. you are right, it's not very very far, but it isn't on my usual beat, and i am a dreadful localist. however, i...

in response to abject objects

Peter: its like an indoor treehouse!

in response to One bedroom apartment

Peter: what are the differences between neighborhoods in the east/west ends?

Peter: wow, this thread gets more and more interesting every day!

in response to Humboldt Park

Peter: heh!

in response to Doh(!)

Peter: so, when you pronounce it, what does the letter "Ø" sound like?

in response to Typical Norwegian Food

Peter: nice shots, jeeff! butcher shops- at least their back/work areas- always have a look of a woodshop. gleaming metal saws and hardware, etc.

in response to portuguese butcher, dundas street

Peter: i read about that in the paper- nice shots! as a tangent: i hear the "western beef" on 14th street (on the left in the first photo) is going to close early next year, and be renovated as luxury office/condo space. chalk up another old nyc neighborhood to gentrification, i guess...

in response to 14th St smoke

Peter: i like posts like this- news items. sorry about the shooting, though. apparently, thats pretty rare in your part of the world. keep us posted...?

in response to Pictures from a drama in Oslo

SadStateOfAffairs: CAPS meetings are helpful. You hear first hand from the police and the neighors what is really going on and what they are doing to try and help. I've attended the CAPS meetings - I will give them credit for doing something and no we did not get hassled for attending....

in response to Humboldt Park

steelisreal: well where do you live?? I never really considered anything far in london. oh well i was just asking sorry to bother you.

in response to abject objects

Xaostica: Am I the real neckface? No. I'd pay a dime for one of his drawings, I find his work crude. It reminds me of a kids sketch book displayed onto buildings. Kinda cute but nothing I would hold against him. Your right about graffiti, cept it's not just "graffiti" thats bad....

in response to Fuck Neck Face

Peter: all i know is that the sign pictured above says "cunard white star lines" on it. as if it matters.

in response to Cunard White Star Lines

elaine: it's a cool solution

in response to One bedroom apartment

Norway.: Hello elain.. the bed place on this picture is called "hems" in norwegian language... This is a very smart solution if you have a small 1 bed room apartment where you have high ceiling... you get more space arround you.. below your "little bed room"

in response to One bedroom apartment
