There’s a store for rent on Seventh Avenue where the lights are left on all the time.
The place looks like the previous tenants left in a hurry. Maybe they fled and left the lights on to trick the landlord.

And now this sidewalk creation is gone, wiped away by recent weather. The gray of the pavement matches the conditions outdoors. It’s another sodden day, good for staying in and reading or watching movies.
Before and after, Prospect Park

While the tangle has an unrestrained beauty, it exists as the other’s counterpart. Since it’s morning, I’m leaning toward the obvious – before and after … coffee. Ahh, I’m feeling much better now.

The city is going to buy seven acres of land in the heart of Coney Island for $95.6 million from developer Joseph Sitt of Thor Equities. Thor, which tore down Astroland then put nothing in its place, is seen as the embodiment of evil and greed, so people have high hopes for the city. So [...]
Sitting around @ Atlantic Ave.

The giant stone blocks surrounding the little Times Plaza building have the feeling of a sea wall, but instead of water, it’s traffic all around. The transportation hub at Atlantic/Pacific Avenues, where subways and the LIRR come together, is a security testing ground. About once a week lately, there are SWAT teams, police K-9 units, [...]

The footbridge connecting Eighth Avenue with 20th Street over the Prospect Expressway has an unusual caged-in structure. Though the bridge doesn’t get much usage, the cars below must need protection from people who have an urge to fling things onto traffic.
Hiding behind the restaurant window

I’d been thinking of eating at this restaurant, but then it closed down for a few months. The owners had been having all-night dance and booze fests, but the nearby homeowners objected to the noise, drunks using yards as toilets, and prostitutes. The restaurant is open again – I’m not so eager to dine there, [...]

That’s why they spell it “sandwhich.” Either that or the person with the chalk has been sampling the Singha beer.
Court Street in the AM

Everyone is in motion on Court Street in the morning. Some are moving slowly and others are bustling around, impatient and in a hurry already.
Delicates? Delicatessen?

A new store is opening soon in Boerum Hill. I could have asked what they are going to sell, but it’s more fun to guess.
