There is something precarious about construction. Perched so high. So perilous.

Today, I noticed that the windows angle as they turn. I always find this to be an attractive building.

Dining al fresco

Streateries have slowly been disappearing. I heard there’s a deadline for the removal this week some time.

Mixed emotions my friends.

Some of these were a highly creative addition to our city”s streetscape.

Now we have large garbage bins decorating corners.

Pictures from my walk

Northwell Health is expanding its presence in the nabe. This is a very pleasing building

Venchi, an ice cream emporium nearby, serves its coffee in these clever cups. See **that lid¡!**

Over the top at Halloween. Pretty darn extravagant in advance of the gifting holidays, too.

Switched from FIOS to Spectrum today, after *already cutting ✂️ the* ***cable*** *cord.* On impulse. Some saving is also involved. Belatedly, FIOS emailed me an offer to save on my existing lines.

My thoughts turn to

Each time I pass this sign, I think of the actor named therein.

I go by here often.

Shaping up

Buildings form three dimensional shapes in space.

It’s the iconography of our cities and the geometry of our lives.

Some stand out and have more promise and more prominently to the eye.

At times, it’s because of the light in the sky or the juxtaposition of nearby structures. Sometimes, it’s just how we see ’em. In real time, this day, from our perspective.

This one formed its shape in my mind when I passed.

Fickle

Coffee shop shoppers don’t stay true to one brand, to a favorite cup of coffee.

I bet I’m kidding myself when I’m just reviewing what’s available. Here I am, sitting at Ole and Steen, new, Scandinavian, cute. Did I mention “new “?” New is exciting.
