a new welcome to Brooklyn sign

I was just reading a paper that came in the mail called Brooklyn!! Where New York Begins. There was an article that says that they will be installing this sign soon. It's the same as this sign that I blogged about earlier. I love it. Only in Brooklyn!

Last night I went to a party inside this old brownstone that was a frat house. It was really interesting.

return of the low rider

Except this time it's missing a wheel! Maybe it's a convertible? Last time I saw the one for sale I asked how much it was, and they said $700. How much is the two wheel version I wonder?

freedom fighters

Yesterday I went to the immigration protest over at City Hall in Manhattan. This was one of the most beautiful things that I have seen in a long time. The most amazing thing was that a huge majority of the people were waving American flags. I was expecting to see other countries flags but they were in limited amounts. I'm sure that the majority of them couldn't even vote but they were exercising constitutional rights that make this country great. I wish them the best of luck.

all drum marching band

These kids were pretty good. After I got a cup of coffee and was enjoying a beautiful Sunday I went and listened to them practice in a church parking lot. They were pretty good.

auotmation of the L train

I spotted this sign recently at the end of the platform waiting for the L train. This is the very first train to be run by computers in NYC. Little bit weird if you ask me.

so much for spring!

It's snowing today! It was in the high 60's last week.

subway poster ad

I saw this ad and laughed my ass off. In the wake of Wal-Mart deciding to sell Brokeback Mountain this seemed appropriate. This ad is for a mini-storage place.

old school low rider

Only a block away from my house and I spot this jem. Not sure how much it was selling for but I figure it would last for 2 seconds if I owned it. Way too cool for my school.

old school low rider profile

Looks good from the side too! The spare tire in the back is a nice touch.

William Wegman: Funney/Strange

Today I went to the Brooklyn Museum and saw William Wegman and was pleasantly surprised. I had no idea that he did things other than photographing dogs. He has some amazing paintings that incorporate postcards from the past. This is one of them, titled "What's with your new grandchild?"

walking underground

I like this subway station. Red is my favorite color.
