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.

Did you ever?

I bet you thought I had given up on those clouds. No, sir, not these ones!

I am keeping a promise

Some of my cohort were promised a photo of a building named Alfredo’s.

For the past 40 years, I have puzzled over the name plate on top of 1368 York.

Wondered but never got satisfaction.

Why ALFREDO’S?

Curiosity has carried me to flights of fancy and imaginative conclusions.

Like SENECA, the name must have some significance. Mustn’t it?

The stunning little balcony

How are you creative?

As I might say of a positive voice vote, the ‘eyes carry it.’ Yea, that is wherein my creativity lies.

Details catch my eye

There’s a wrought iron rail and then windows treated in a variety of styles. 158 is all decked out for Christmas in a green motif. The house or houses that are behind this fence are (is) hidden by a secretive gate.

There is the occasional preserved block where brownstones or their relatives remain as a reminder of the City’s past.

Its creativity lives in the ways it has adapted as in the neat balconies and reimagined little buildings I spotted today.
