This Month On Citynoise

author: Jamie : Worldwide

Recent research indicates that when passed through a word cloud algorithm, the content generated by citynoise contributors during the last month bears a striking resemblance to Australia. Is there something more productive I could be doing? Probably, yes.

We're All One, and Life Flows on Within You and Without You

author: zagg : Sarnia, ON

June is a great month - the warm weather is a definite, every day makes a good beach day and then there is Art Walk. It has been going since 2002 and I've been a happy supporter since I moved to the downtown area in 2005. Before noon I biked to Art Walk ready to get my fill of locally made jewelry, buy locally grown tea and snap some shots. Many a person have said crap about the downtown area for as long as I can remember... and I've always been a defender for it. Don't complain about...

Pigeons on a Milk Crate on a Bike

Someone painted these fine feathered fellows on the milk crate attached to a bike. Pigeons & bikes are inevitable in the city but they are not always this cute.

Going Around the World On Danforth Avenue

author: Elicar : Toronto, ON

There was a time when Danforth Avenue was synonymous to Souvlaki and Greeks. It may still be. But Greektown is but a small portion of Danforth Avenue and the other areas are developing. Apart from the Greektown Business Improvement Association (BIA) which is from Jones to Chester, there are two other BIA's that I discovered on my walk today from Victoria Park to Broadview: Danforth Village BIA (Victoria Park to Greenwood) and Danforth BIA (Chester to Broadview). I wonder if there is another BIA from Greenwood to Jones? Danforth Avenue boasts a wide variety of restaurants offering cuisine from all over...

An Occurrence on Dickinson Street

author: serlingrod : Philadelphia, PA

10th & Dickinson in South Philly. It appears that the driver of this shiny new Mercedes passed out behind the wheel, ran a stop sign, and ended up driving on the sidewalk. Thankfully nobody was hit or hurt. The driver appeared to be in shock. There's so much to this that makes it bizarre...the car itself, the out-of-state plates. The ridiculous fight that broke out among neighbors afterward. And to top it off the incident occurred along a block lined with murals by famous Philly artists Isaiah Zagar (which were...

Restaurant on the Bay

author: jack : Port Orange, FL

on the bay side in port orange, beneath the bridge to the main land, there is a restaurant, there is dining on the deck, excellent food at reasonable prices, and the sea gulls are all around you on boats and pier pilings, fisherman drift lazily in their boats waiting for a catch, the sun once burning brightly now begins it's descent into another part of the world and it's warm rays stretch over and glow into the blue sky as you eat your meal, music plays softly over a loud speaker, waiters eager to serve, platters of fried calamari, clams...

Snow on My Deck

author: jack : Berkeley Heights, NJ

the weather outside is frightful, but florida is more delightful. so it snowed, snowed and snowed, and i lifted the screen from my wife's kitchen window and caught this shot of the sun on the snow. the temperature is 43, wow! the sun is slowly dropping and i saw these shadows.

A Reflection on Kenya's Toughest Week

author: Magu Nguru : Nairobi, Kenya

Now relaxed, I reflect on the events that I personally witnessed and saw on the telly during the last week. that week seemed like a month with so much happening. Never in my life have I been so anxious, stressed, worried about the future. at least I can thank God that I and my family are alive and well. I don't know if you have ever experienced a breathless feeling that is more enduring than a prolonged scary scene in a horror movie or have ever walked blind fold in an unfamiliar territory. I think no words can describe the...
