I dropped in on Lindsay for a quick visit. She asked how Larry is, and who knows him as Viza.

Poor Lindsay moves so often, I can’t keep track of which stop to get off at. Unfortunately, this wasn’t it.

October ends, and my 10 day countdown begins.

it's a sign... and a sign
This sign is what my new business idea is about.

Empire State Building from Bushwick
I dropped in on Lindsey and Rachel.

Joe's ATM
Joe’s ATM. Reminds me of the old joke “Would you trust your money with Joe’s Bank?
Someone from the bar this was outside of freaked and wanted to know why I was taking pictures.

?
There’s always something new on President St.

tracks
They’re doing a lot of work here at the Jefferson stop on the L

trackwork
I’ll note though that all for all the work they do, they’re just replicating a 100 year old system that should have been replaced long ago. It’s the finest early 1900’s technology created today.

bragmobile
That’s a mighty bold claim. I wonder if that’s gone unchallenged.

early christmas
When I took this, I was going to note how ridiculously early the Christmas decorations were.
Then, like with Joe’s ATM I got chased down by some guy who said it was his business and demanded to know why I was taking pictures. When I told him, he sheepishly said “Oh, they’re still up from last year.”

One of my favorite things about walking the bridges is the view of the neighborhoods.

Unfortunately, much of the view is defaced by this chicken coop.
