Construction gives the city its feel of vibrant impermanence.
There is something new to anticipate all the time.

Idyll
Describe your most ideal day from beginning to end.
I enjoy a random ramble
Without map or preamble
Wandering suits my mood
Fits my temperament, is good
Walks that are serendipitous
Not precipitous signal the
Ideal day spent ideally and
Satisfying an inherent
Wanderlust for the errant
Wanderer that I apparently am
Forms
The red brick facade is so pleasantly angular. Its alignment is like a study in geometry or at least rectangles.

A tale of 2 Peters
At 23rd Street and 1st Avenue is the Peter Cooper part of what is now marketed as Peter Cooper-Stuy Town.
The area below 20th Street is the (Peter) Stuyvesant section.
11,000+ apartments on some 80 acres include plenty of green spaces in this sprawling town within our town.
The ‘Village’ and the ‘Town’ have a long history that seems to have settled lately.
For instance, as of January 2023, the housing here is under rent regulation.
Residents struggled to keep their community. They succeeded in making these tranquil acres a great place to live [per Street Easy.]
Me, I was just passing this corner today.
Ritzy
Stinky pods
The teacher warned the line of little tykes not to step on the stinky fruit.
In that moment, I remembered that the ginkgo drops a smelly residue.
It seems so unseasonable. By January, shouldn’t these have fallen off and washed away?
Whining
So many tools complain as you use them.
They were sawing through the Christmas detritus today to the sounds of an upset saw.
It looks a little different on a rainy day in the city.
Snow was expected that day.
Gemstones
This gem-filled entryway is bound to stop you as you pass. I didn’t get a chance to study the design, but it seems rather random to me.
Whaddya think?
