More walking

For an opinionated woman such as I, blogging is an excellent outlet. This is one of many fori that I use to bloviate. Enjoy! Comment on my commentary.
Signs of snow
Street seats
A “good guys” notification:
A trend?
Renting a furnished apartment is potentially a time-saver.
No trips to IKEA. No reaching for the screwdriver.
It is a tribute to impermanence too. I can live here a while and then I’ll just move on.
Pictures from my day
Left to right from top to bottom:
Jacob’s Pickles was so crowded (and this a weekday!) that we were obliged to take outdoor seating. This was fine until the breezes picked up around 2pm.
Related but no relation, a poster for pickleball reservations at the Westside Presbyterian Church, aka Inclusion Hall.
The space inviting the inclusion is ironically a Romanesque fortress. Not sure why that was my p.o.v. as I passed, admiring the events posted at the circumference.
The light of the sky obliterated the twinkly blue lights on the tree at Eleven E 86th. I intended to cite this as an example of holiday decorations around town. Oh well. Examples are photos 12 & 13, then 18 through 21 above.
Skyline views of selected UWS streets bring us Loyola School (12, 13) on Park at 83rd. I am flummoxed that I had not heard of this school til today. Surely I have walked this part of town before. 🤔
Enjoy your walks.
Happy new year.

If you started a sports team, what would the colors and mascot be?
Someone might choose this yellow and this blue / green. Mind you, not I. Nor would I make the team rep be a muskrat.
My take
I am intrigued by its off the seaside casualties. It is the rooftop addition to which I refer. Then
For this yellow to be the choice some unknown chooser made I am thinking it has to be a yellow of intense meaning.
Piqued my interest
It’s a design touch that reminds me of vacationing at motels. The stairs lead to a common pathway for both entries.
The walkway is raised, hiding access to the disposal area for the buildings.
There are two sets of these, one address away from each other, so four walk-up homes all in all.
Decorative
Let’s catch up
What was the last thing you did for play or fun?
This is it, shooting pix as I toodle around my neighborhood. This set of photos presented after a nice lunch with a friend.
(We favor a Mexican place, but each of my friends and I tend to gravitate towards one or a few specific restaurants.)
Taking pictures, eating ice cream, and sharing this minutiae with you.
For a more nuanced gawk at architecture, I refer you to the original predecessor of this site, The Sidewalk Super blog..
