while that second photo is totally philly, i gotta tell you that its almost uncanny how much that first photo looks like where i went to college on the upper west side in nyc. its like totally broadway, looking south, smack between barnard and columbia at, eh, about 118th street :D
vz: 30th Mar 2005 - 23:31 GMT
Yeah, I can definitely see that too.. except Walnut Street is a lot narrower than Broadway-- at two lanes one-way, it's ideal for biking through snarled traffic!
Peter: 30th Mar 2005 - 23:36 GMT
yeah, i think i just miss the old neighborhood now that i live out here in brooklyn. i spent almost 10 years there- my first taste of nyc.
bway is 4 lanes up there, with a fat median with the 1/9 subway's gratings in it. i used to ride it from my place in hells kitchen all the way up to 168th every day. theres a huge hill there, going downtown, where you have to navigate a maaaad busy redlight at 125th, go up this big hill til like 116th, all the while dodging the m4/104/60 busses and pretentious barnard bitches... on a fixed gear. heh. damn, i want spring to come faster so i can get back on my bike more!

today was such a gorgeous spring-like day... I hope it stays this way at least until the weekend.

On Asking for Change
Walking, mostly absorbed in thought, I suddenly hear:
"Hey! Hey, you're my buddy from the Wawa, remember?"
And by that, the middle-aged man, friendly in that crushed kind of way, meant that he recognized me, that he'd asked me for change several...
