168th Street

author: GGP : New York, NY

A business commitment forced me out into the cold yesterday and up from Brooklyn to Northern Manhattan. Columbia Presbyterian is there; a complex of historic old buildings and new ones. Dr. Bruce must be a pretty special dude. How's this for a nice bit of corporate culture? (That's an oxymoron, by the way.) The subway station is pretty cool as well. I get hot for these old lamps.

Hearse to Ya! A/k/a The Not So Grim Reaper

author: kc : New York, NY

One thing about death, you'll always get some surreal details. Herewith, a P.T. Cruiser parked a few doors down from Spring Street's Crestwood Memorial Chapel. No joke, apparently--there's a big sign that says "FUNERAL" on the dashboard...

Lascoff Prescriptions

author: GGP : New York, NY

OK, after Sine's post, Prescriptions, it seems appropriate to post some Rx's of my own. This is from an upper east side institution, Lascoff Apothecary. It's a classic apothecary, offering many cures, tinctures, and "analyses" in its day. I love this mortar and pestle detail. The ivy says it all... Anyone read Latin? This phrase presumably attests to the proprietor's, well, propriety. The large front windows display wonderful keepsakes from the past, including many old prescriptions. And the building itself in various incarnations over...

Upper East Side Neon

author: GGP : New York, NY

Everytime I go to the upper east side, I hope and pray this place will still be there. I confess that I have never had a soda, a float, a milkshake, candy, lunch, or anything else in there, even though I grew up just blocks away. But the magic of this storefront, which has been there since 1925, is more potent than any temporal sugar infusion. It reeks of time.

Strangely Poetic Spam

author: Catherine Penfold-Waxman : New York, NY

I hate spam. I loathe it. I have a dream of being in a bar and the person next to me is bragging that they are a spammer and I turn into a red rage and bottle them -- there is blood everywhere, gouts of it splashing up the curtains and I'm screaming, "NOT IN MY INBOX." All this coming from a pacifist. So I'm suprising myself by posting this penis enlargment spam e-mail: > New Penis Enlargement Patches! > > I prefer liberty to chains of diamonds. > I never know how much of what I...

Taxi from the Hip

author: Catherine Penfold-Waxman : New York, NY

I had to work Thanksgiving weekend. But all is not lost, I took some sneaky pictures from the hip in the taxi (as inspired by Elaine). A photolog of my Sunday journey to work. Astoria, on Nothern Boulevard. Astoria, coming up to the 59th street bridge. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queensboro_Bridge Roosevelt Island Trolley, Manhattan. Heading down 2nd Ave. 2nd avenue and a tree. Still 2nd avenue. Corner...

Images of snow and ice taken on December 31, 2005. The first couple of shots from up on the hill. The remainder of the shots were taken by a little stream downhill, where icicles hung from low-lying branches and were burnished...
