Yesterday, riding home on the 2/3 to Brooklyn, someone got on strumming an old black Fender Telecaster. He proceeded to play it for several stops, alienating everyone around him until they got off the train or moved to different seats.... I took photos.

Rainy Day Bird

author: Peter : Brooklyn, NY

Subtlely tucked away on the edge of the ice-machine in front of the Galed Bodega lies a new {et Bird sticker... ...and on the mailbox down the street... ...and the payphone... ...and another mailbox... I saw these today walking to the train to go to work. It looks as though despite the rainstorm we've been having, Pet Bird has been busy putting new stickers up and down Washington Ave, and all over Prospect Heights. If any other ProHo residents see any other new stickers around, I'd love to see em...

Countless Faces Commuting

Sometimes, the easiest way to get an accurate view into what the population is like in a certain area is to simply observe the people themselves.

Closeup of said stick-up and star...

Fading Bird

I found another old-ish Pet Bird sticker, which I don't think anyone has posted here before. I passed it stuck to a phone-company box on the east side of Prospect Place, just before it intersects with Underhill Avenue, heading up from Vanderbilt Avenue. I thought I'd post it here, as the next rain will probably dispatch it to the gutter, heh... Then it won't be so much Pet Bird as it will Wet Bird...
