(Apr 27) It is now undeniably spring. And it becomes time to ponder the reasons why I am still here.
Though I still have not seen it all
I wonder how many times people have walked past this sign.
This will now always look the same, every time.
Beer. The cause of, and worsener of problems.
(Jun 19) Roosevelt Island is about to get a large dose of change. It’s going to be change they won’t like one bit. It’s inevitable though. Underscoring this, it’s a Bruce Ratner project now, who will co-own the buildings, which come with free land, courtesy of the city. I can’t help but think the city is poor at selling itself to have to give so much away to those who will directly profit from this initiative. The idea that anyone has gotten a piece of Roosevelt Island free just seems scandalous.
It is a beautiful place, with a view of the east side.
Aside from the subway, and a bridge to Astoria, the tram is the only other way on and off the island.
And then on the other side of the tram bridge… you’re there already.
Now you see it… soon you won’t.
(Mar 31) The end of March. April waits in the wings.
