Nah

This open stroller thing is far from working

The passage way between these two open strollers is so narrow even the skinny pull through on tiptoes.

From my vantage, I just feel trapped. I am calculating an escape from a back door until I  get to my stop.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not just the baby moms and dads I dread. Oldsters barely in control of their walkers also have me wondering how I’ll manage getting out.

And looking for the nearest exit.

You’re the top

I am delighted by these flourishes at the top of buildings. I confirmed that these peaks are called finials, as I am proud to say, I suspected.



Wood-frame buildings were banned as fire hazards sometime before the turn of the century (the one that went from 18 to 1900).

The one near the corner of York and 78th is a survivor from the 1880s, I believe. Not many are extant, but I recall passing one in the East 90s as well.
