For an opinionated woman such as I, blogging is an excellent outlet. This is one of many fori that I use to bloviate. Enjoy! Comment on my commentary.

Keeping it local

Breaking it down. Piece of Cake truck with surveillance camera. E. 78th
Breaking it down: Cherokee Place looking towards the Con Ed facility on 75th. Scaffolding came down in record time by the way, so top photos are more recent.
Cell receptors on the roof. I believe the landlord is recompensed. Breaking it down.
Breaking it down: the bus, the sunlight.
Breaking it down: bring a book, take a book, plus the NYPL across the street.

Sightseeing

From Cherokee Place to nearby 76th Street is such a short walk

This plant with leaves grown elephantine is my definition of an opportunistic being.

A view of the East River and Roosevelt Island is incomparable. [You got me: I wanted to say priceless.]

Sights seen

This is an old-school food truck. Really it’s old-school and it’s a truck and then it’s also a food truck.
I love the look of this truck but wasn’t tempted to check out food offerings on its extensive menu. Maybe next time.
These vibrant flowers are being added to my “fresh flowers” collection.
Misfit glass remodel on a brownstone street mimics it’s green painted neighbor. I reluctantly nod to it as attractive.
This is the brownstone street whose shared DNA is disrupted by the green glass. The block is full of the life of NYC, with a Hungarian Church and the above referenced green glass conversion as well as rows of the originals.
This moving company wants to encompass 2 clichés: the shirt shows a snapping fingers aka “it’s a snap” with their name.

It’s a sign

What’s more effective? “Rent Now” or “Luxury Rentals”
This just seems incongruous.
Makes nails look delectable all over town.
Dunkin’ is open… are they just stating the obvious.
Construction is all over town these days.
Road aka a street closed
One can only hope so.
Opining about politics
Ice scream is so good!
A countdown from last tax season.
