Church Avenue and McDonald is a major neighborhood intersection. The shops and flat landscape aren’t too interesting, but there are often some unusual characters hanging out or passing through.

Large tabby, man of mystery, has gone missing. In fact, we don’t know its gender, but this cat looks male. Don’t know when, or where he disappeared, or if his name is silly or serious. Keep your eyes open.
Black car is on its way

Car service cars can legally pick up passengers in Brooklyn as of last week. I thought this was already legal. My advice: ask the price before you’re seated in the car, not when you reach your destination.
This office has TV envy

The sign on this trailer-esque structure is reminiscent of The Office television show. There’s even a pointing finger in case you didn’t see the sign or don’t believe real bidness is going on inside. Wouldn’t it be great if you walked up to the office and the employees were sitting there watching The Office on TV?
School bus shadow

Spring vacation is coming up, so the kids advise leaving the school bus where it is. Being New Yorkers, they learn early the value of a good parking spot. I don’t know if multiple meters have to be fed for an extra-long vehicle – there are special rules for school buses.
Follow that duck

Transportation dominates the landscape out McDonald Avenue. This ride-on duck sticks out on the sidewalk like a demented ship figurehead searching for water. To get to the beach: jump in the saddle, turn the vessel right, and follow the elevated tracks a couple miles until you see the water. Continue straight when the tracks turn and enjoy a dip in the cool Atlantic.
F Train @ sunset

Magic hour on the platform, with an incoming Queens-bound F train. Elevated platforms shake, sometimes alarmingly, so getting a focused shot can be a challenge.
That dog is a pussycat

If we tossed that dog a hamburger, we could have all the used tires we wanted. His loud barks are more bored than angry. I can just tell.
Gas station (view from the bus)

Many things, when you pause and look, are school-bus yellow: the walk sign, taxis, and the On the Run sign. Inside the store, there are probably also some food products related to cheese that are the same color, but I’ll save that research for another day.
Under the F Train tracks

We pointed the car toward Marine Park and Kings Plaza mall, a few miles out, where the land meets the water. The drive, at least the part under the elevated F Train tracks, was more interesting than the shopping.
