Catherine Penfold-Waxman: Ok. One last one for you. This sign is funny because it looks like Joan Collins married Michael Jordan (she didn't, did she?).

in response to Motel sign

jeeff: those signs are great. i really miss the attention to detail in modern shops and gas stations, etc. now (in north america at least) everything is prefab, premade, mass-produced, bland.

colavito's ghost: let's just pretend it did look like a peacock; would that be much better?

in response to a different perspective

colavito's ghost: Why is there a hookah in that fourth one? Medicine?.....sure.....

in response to Cullen Building

Balloonhedz: Yup. the FIRST of two portals (south side of the tunnel) comes out into daylight and the yard at Vanderbilt Ave. There were two yard designations years ago..VD Upper and VD Lower. The structure might still be there too...but I doubt its active anymore...used to be Vanderbilt...

in response to Subway Roulette

GGP: extraordinary--beautiful! I like the foxglove, the star-ray, and the bee. that last set offers some deliciously detailed botanical images.

in response to Cullen Building

Peter: wow, i live right near the atlantic yards... is that what you mean by the vanderbilt ave yard?

in response to Subway Roulette

GGP: cool! I don't know why this posted as "unknown"--I posted it and was pretty sure GGP was listed as author, but maybe I hit the wrong button in my excitement. :)

in response to Direct From Our Farms To You

Balloonhedz: Oh...and I liked the old Stillwell Ave better. My first Coney hot dog was NOT at Nathans...but rather at the TA employee luncheonette on the overpass. I used to ride with a Motorman. He never let me anywhere NEAR the street and wouldnt take me to Nathans cuz...

Editor:: way to go, B-Sin. you just got the commenting turned off on this post.

in response to Subway Roulette

Balloonhedz: yup..you usually smell it before you see it. Even after the exhaust has been run through the water filter. Theyre not supposed to run diesels underground. The LIRR used to have diesel hauled freight into Flatbush Ave Terminal. The south half of the tracks were for electric...

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: Ow. My neck hurts from looking up at the Empire State photo! This is a really cool shot. Is it from a regular observation deck? (102nd floor?)

in response to Empire State Building Spire:

Peter: id love to see some pictures of that... bikes in amsterdam... especialyl if you see any kronans!

in response to Abandoned Bikes

Peter: also: check this out... reminds me of this entry.

in response to My window on the Chrysler building

Peter: i think "doze" should know that hes biting the one and only "doze green" by using that name. www.dozegreen.com no wonder hes "crewless".

in response to Dallas Graffiti Like What!

Peter: heh!

in response to Pavement Patterns

Peter: i love pickled stuff... as long as it isnt some sort of meat. i suppose i should try a pickled egg sometime, but i wouldnt know where to go to get one! speaking of eggs and chips for lunch... reminds me of this entry: www.citynoise.org/article/1238#5482

in response to Chips for Lunch 2

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: Talking of dodgy foods, after reading this thread I was hungry (chips! Pickled eggs!) so I went to a great Pollo A La Brassa place here in Astoria, Queens for lunch. The soup is chicken heart soup. I personally don't eat the hearts (much to the anoyance of the...

in response to Chips for Lunch 2

Peter: cool. im glad youre sharing your trip with us here, man...

in response to toronto night

Peter: im guessing that stands for something like mobile emergency response vehicle... MERV is a great name for such a bus. though im sure that the FDNY would be hard-pressed to keep many immobile emergency response vehicles around ;)

in response to W4th St Subway Fire~Street Scene

Peter: paulg, love the photos, man! also love your take on the strata of austin. ive only been there once, but i must say that you hit the nail right on the head, especially with the cash-avec-nirvana bit, heh.

in response to Austin, Texas

Peter: oh wow, these rule. gotta love the work trains. it never fails... a late night, coming home after something, sitting in the station forever waiting for a train to come... then you hear the rumble, from far away... as it approaches, the yellow work train appears in the station, going...

in response to Subway Roulette

Peter: awesome!! i love trains. especially when theres shots of em in brooklyn. thsoe are two of my fav things :)

Editor:: fixed. thanks for posting, cari!

in response to Room with a view

Peter: lucky you, ian. awesome- now we can see mroe of your great shots... i like these two- a nice contrast, literally and figuratively.

in response to Drive home

Cari: We just talked about organic farming ins Spanish Class today!

in response to Direct From Our Farms To You

Peter: hahaha sweet. i love the ball-trail... its great that hes all a blur, save for his left leg and head... as should be the case in a good tee-off :)

in response to Night Driver

Peter: jamie- "add image" to comment box would rock the house, dude.

in response to Motel sign

Peter: wow!! those remind me of rockefeller center here... all decco-ed out. also: loving hte microscope bas relief... and the rabits and random lab apparatus. cool stuff, man! thanks for sharing.

in response to Cullen Building

Peter: hey nice pics! thanks for posting. we'd love to see more... i always like sights fro mthe uk.. the graf, streets, urban planning- its just enough different from over here in the US that its always interesting :)

in response to MONDAY MORNING WALKABOUT

ian: Pickled eggs are quite delicious if you're in the mood, especially the ones in soy sauce. But pickled asparagus rules the roost.

in response to Chips for Lunch 2

ian: I agree. Images in comments seems to be a very common theme. One of the best things about CN is people annotating entries with their own experiences, memories, and photos. Definitely make it more clear how to add a photo to a comment.

in response to Motel sign

MC: Would also like to know what other people think of these pictures....any feedback is welcome.

in response to MONDAY MORNING WALKABOUT

jeeff: jamie - good idea

in response to Motel sign

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: I've eaten a pickled egg. I wasn't even drunk. It was pretty good. But the pickled onions are where it's at. It is delicious to see the chip shop and chips. I'm a Brit in New York (I've been here 12 years) so I've been craving all the food that...

in response to Chips for Lunch 2

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: I like the way the artist's hands have become an extension of the painting in the last picture. I also quite fancy his breakfast of grapes.

in response to oct 23 2005 toronto

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: That's a beauty, Ian. I wish I'd seen it. Do you remember where you saw it? The 'old' Vegas is much more interesting from a design point of view. I loved Vegas for the crafting of it's image. There's no subtlety. And I hated Vegas for all the same reasons....

in response to My window on the Chrysler building

ian: I can't believe I haven't posted this picture here before! http://valine.org/pf/15.jpg Peter, how do I make images inline in the comments?

in response to Motel sign

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: I love these, especially the first one. It's so graphic. I think that it would make an excellent hypnotist's tool. Stare at it hard enough, click your fingers and you're Napoleon.

in response to Pavement Patterns

jeeff: i think we need to add a strtolower command to this thread.
