Previous Day :: Next Day

EvilGentleman: You know, this sounds pretty good. I'm thinking we can just go out for a drive on a decent day and cruise around until we see something of interest, and then we both take a series of photos of the subject item/place/area and see what our respective posts end up...

in response to Tour of Montreal’s Chinatown

upfromflames: Word, peter. I was a bit shaken up this morning when I found out a fellow teacher was held up at gunpoint at 5PM Tuesday--on the M train platform at Central Ave--one that I have used everyday for 4 years. Does that challenge my whole historical thesis that Bushwick has...

in response to My House in Bushwick

CE: I'm not sure what happened to the list so here I'll repost it (hopefully) fixed. 1. Poutine 2. A yellow fire truck (must be a full-size ladder truck, not an auxiliary vehicle) 3. Either an STM Transit Cop or a meter maid (or meter man) writing a ticket 4. St. Monicas Elementary School The...

in response to Montreal Scavenger Hunt

CE: Ok, so I've totally let this slide but I still think it would be a good thing to do. I've compiled all the suggestions and have set a deadline for when I'll have all (or all that I can find) of the pictures. I will follow this post...

frank from 'skea: who's the hot blonde babe?I've never noticed her b4!!!!

in response to Satan's Front Door

Peter: i, for one, would love to see a collaboration or a post of two people's takes on the same things... cool!

in response to Tour of Montreal’s Chinatown

CE: Thanks EG! We have been doing that to eachother a few times. Maybe the next time we get together (maybe this weekend?) we should collaberate on some posts or each do seperate posts of the same thing with our own take on it. It could be interesting...

in response to Tour of Montreal’s Chinatown

Peter: eg: id love to see your take. you guys could go head to head! i love that there are folks on here that portray the same cities, etc, but with just a bit of a different eye. id love to see the contrasts in your take on such a post, to...

in response to Tour of Montreal’s Chinatown

Peter: i love it when people make blanket assumptions about a post and get off on random tangents concerning their own insecurities or issues (see any of www.citynoise.org/author/scott_sargent for example, hahaha). i dunno; as far as "education" and "loving these machines" go, im in my 20s and an ivy-league grad and i...

in response to Monster Trucks

EvilGentleman: Concerned Monster Fan: I never said that the drivers and crews were hillbillies et al. But like pro wrestlers or Jerry Springer, the mass audience has a tendency to be less sophisticated, on average. That is not to say that there are no cases of Nobel Laureates or heads of state...

Biff: Looking south from Gould Street, yesterday afternoon, St. James in the distance...

in response to Dalhousie Street

Concerned Monster Fan: I hate to read these types of articles because of the stereotypes that get associated with the monster trucks. I am a 20 yr old man who is well educated and far from the hillbilly type and I love these machines. In the old days of monster trucks the drivers...

in response to Monster Trucks

EvilGentleman: One of your best posts yet. Love it. But a little envious, since I kept meaning to do the exact same post, but had yet to actually do so. I think we do that to each other a lot.

in response to Tour of Montreal’s Chinatown

Donald Walters: I agree. I lived in Hutch until I was twenty two and moved away the split-second that I had saved enough money to do so. Best decision of my life. All you folks here that are getting your undies in a bunch because some other person called our town boring...

in response to America\'s Most Boring Towns: 10

Peter: cay: firstly, i think its humorously ironic that you qualify "not scaremongering" by saying "god knows nyc is scary enough". thats a dated, inaccurate and stereotypical statement that i dont appreciate much, as a new yorker. if you truly feel that way, you should consider relocating to wherever it was...

Island Flower: Fine, but im a gonna get me some roasted chicken!!...

in response to Wild Chickens

William Metz: Who are these people who are promoting Hutchinson. I have lived here my entire life and it sucks. Plus it is shrinking.

in response to America\'s Most Boring Towns: 10

Cay: Not scaremongering... God knows NYC is scary enough. But I'm just saying its not enough to be very careful, its not enough to just "be aware of your surroundings at all times." Had one bad experience, involving a weapon, and gang members and I'm not going back for more...

in response to My House in Bushwick

Anne M. Berger: I grew up in Brooklyn in the forties and fifties. It was truly the melting pot. I went to St. Joseph's on Sydam St. My Irish friends went to St. Lenords on Toutman? not sure and my German friends went to St. John's the parish where my parent's...

in response to My House in Bushwick

Peter: i dunno, cay. that sounds like scaremongering... or maybe you just had some bad experiences... ive been out and about around there a lot really late at night... never had any problems. i mean, i dont slink around in the dark recesses between abandoned warehouses, but who does? ive walked...

Michael Mages: I went to bishop castle last summer with my boy scout troop. We had a blast i thought it was the best place built with out permission but with love. He bulit the caslte as a promise to his wife and he has given me ideas of what i would...

Stephen: man those are some nice pics i've seen some monster truck rallies all over the world and never seen anything like this

in response to Monster Trucks

Cay: If you can go in and out of your new place in the daytime, and literally live as a prisoner in your place in the nighttime, you MIGHT be O.K. That's all I can or will say. Good luck to all of you. Goodbye Bushwick.

anon (c-66-177-176-226.hsd1.fl.comcast.net): I agree with Dave, Jacksonville is terrific! These 6 pictures are of buildings and over passes downtown...whoever photographed these should have ventured out to the beaches or intercoastal water-ways...Jacksonville is beautiful...if you don't like it LEAVE!!!
