brooklyn bus tour 2006

Public buses run all over Brooklyn and I decided to take a tour of their routes. I picked two routes that seemed to go the furthest and cover the most of Brooklyn, the B37(covers the southwest side) and B8(goes right through the heart of B-Town) [view PDF of map here]. The 37 started semi-close to my place. So my friend Nif and I walked to our starting stop. We got on around the Bergen stop and our trip began. All and all it took about 4 hours to complete, which included walking around and getting some food. It was definitely worth the $2 bus fee and provided hours of entertainment. Currently I'm looking into other routes that might have other treasures to be discovered, and when I find them be sure that I'll be bloging about them right here. This sign was the funniest thing I saw on the whole trip. I think I might make it the catch phrase for Brooklyn Fix, what do you think?

sweet graffiti

This gem was located next to the one pictured below. I don't think I have ever seen a nerd painted in such a positive light.

sweet graffiti 2

The bus tour did not let down in the graffiti department. This was spotted on the walk from the bus back to a subway connection.

all look same

So cute and quaint. Lined up in nice clean rows. This set of houses faced the bridge and seemed a bit out of place.

verrazano narrows bridge

Covered in fog, this bridge was absolutely stunning. This was the first stop on the Brooklyn Bus Tour 2006!

I'd prefer not to...

...Catch any wave from White Castle, thanks.

bombs away?

I saw this and thought it was a very strange logo.

He looks kinda devilish.

Great success! I am now officially back on line. I'm back, and bad, and I'll give you photos that make you glad.

funny sticker!

no problem, it's...

I'll take you for a spin once we get this beauty out of dry dock.

the last of the snow

With two days of 55 plus degree weather the snow is nowhere to be seen. This last chunk looks kind of like a meteorite, don't you think?

in the hood

I just discovered this beauty a few blocks from my place.

my first sled ride

It was super fun and super cold!

BLIZZARD!

This is what winter looks like!

verizon online sucks!

I STILL don't have the internet, and now I've been told that I'm waiting with 600,000(yes that's right six hundred thousand) of my fellow Brooklynites for Verizon to install more DSL connections at the "central office". All because they are offering $14.95 DSL and are overwhelmed with orders. I'm beginning to think that the internet is a mere figment of my imagination. My bloging hands are tied behind my back. AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

great political paintings

Saw Jeff Faerber's art last night at a bar and really enjoyed it. This is a bad photo of a good painting. Check out his web site.
