These out of city-ites were just sitting for a spell.
They’re taking up residence at John Jay instead.
It bothers me perhaps more than it should.
P.S. they left.

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.

A grand portico & an oasis
New to me
Has it really been that long!
Of course, a New York City neighborhood can change in a New York minute. Much of what I saw yesterday around Lincoln Center wasn’t there on my last visit. So it is with my exploration today.
Not that the changing nature of NYC is such an astounding conclusion, but it was also a theme at my destination.
The Museum of the City of New York stressed all the changes we have gone through as the City evolved.
One thing that doesn’t change much is the demonizing of immigrants. The Museum is unraveling an ambitious exhibit centering around our history with newcomers.
Then there’s the places I never frequented much, so that is truly new.

Lots of changes around here but holding its vibe neatly
Ok so
Today, I ventured out of the neighborhood.
Details or side bits are next.
Folksy
The Spanish psychiatrist Francesc Tosquelles exiled at a French asylum during WWII, where he deconstructed the experience of being institutionalized.
Tosquelles was a pioneer in his field.
His patients included Auguste Forestier, whose brut sculptures are very powerful.
The American Folk Art Museum has created a masterly exhibit as a testament to the denizens of Saint-Alban.
This exhibit closes Sunday, so visit soon if you can.
If you miss this one, there are always intriguing works of “self- taught” art displayed at 2 Lincoln Square. Exhibits are always free.
Outdoorsy
The weather calls for sitting outside. Hot but tolerably so. Low humidity. A breeze under the trees.
