dailyprompt – Page 3 – Walk with Me, Too

Picture this

Do you see yourself as a leader?

Only if you’re following me here… and here…. and there.

MTC used to perform at this venue. For someone living only a few blocks away, the UES theater was a special treat.

What a great New York story this corner could tell!

Construction is a huge part of all stories in NYC. This site didn’t leave room for a pedestrian walkway. Tsk tsk.

From one corner to another

How do you relax?

Heat. Humidity. Yeah. But still a beautiful day.

Circular

What does your ideal home look like?

Where do you want to live?

The circular ramp at the Guggenheim is an amenity I would love to have. Just 2, maybe three floors of living space connected by this type of access. Some of my 4 or 5 rooms will have wainscoting like this museum exhibit below.

Others will have views like these:

And outdoor seating like this:

Another beautiful day

How are you feeling right now?

Sure, these are photos from yesterday, but the feeling lingers.

Coffee, a walk & time to write

What daily habit do you do that improves your quality of life?

Too sweet, lush, and delicious. Pumpkin soy latte. Ordinarily not on my menu.

On any given day, I am definitely going to walk: To an old haunt; to meet a friend; to my workout.

The walk that leads me to my coffee trail is particularly cherished.

All these habits wrap around my time to write. Sometimes, I blog to a prompt, and other times, I am prompted by other inspiration.

What’s all the excitement?

Tell us about the last thing you got excited about.

I’m prone to mood swings that affect my walk. When excited, I pace myself a little quicker.

Heading to the Ballet Hispánico at the Museum recently had me giddy and overjoyed.

Walking along the UWS for a change of scenery a few weeks ago had the same stirring effect.

Other destinations give me pleasure, too. Sometimes, it’s a treat being in the familiar. Sometimes, the excitement comes from a fresh perspective.

Tomorrow

How would you design the city of the future?

Future think is hard. Imagining what life will be like some distant day is hit or miss. Will we all take a flying carpet to get from home to work?

I would design a city with no major traffic. Busses or trollies will pick us up at certain points.

Bikes will be there for the young. Road lanes for the elders on walkers and wheelchairs will also be by design; strollers and carriages will be able to get by. As will those walking as sidewalks will be wider.

Cars will be kept outside city limits. They are useful for visiting friends or family in the hinterlands.

Trees will be a prominent feature on my city streets. As they already are in NYC in our present time.

Homes will be modernist, whatever that means. I like glass bricks.

There will be balconies cantilevered on structures no taller than 12 or 14 storeys.

Lobbies will open to stairwells and glass elevator banks. Each floor will offer a common room and plenty of privacy for when you prefer not to be communal.
