the storage containers painted by charles mary kubricht currently on view at the high line incorporate a method of military camouflage used in WWI known as dazzle. i see zebra.
looking down from the high line i see an ad for the play sister act, which makes me look up.
cool car for bond no. 9 in the meatpacking district with a sentiment we share.
marlow & daughters is a traditional butcher shop in williamsburg, brooklyn. it's very charming inside, but don't look straight back unless you want to see them practicing their craft.
stanley & sons makes traditional aprons and bags in williamsburg, brooklyn. wonder if they work with marlows?
this sign in long island city gets my goat. all it's missing is 'byot' - bring your own tent.
xo, cindy
i see zebra, too -- definitely.
ReplyDeletethat sign is indeed smile-inducing, byot!
lol bring your own tent. i watched this art documentary of an artist guy who lived in a trailer outside his friends house in the bronx. :) it's amazing what people try and charge for in NYC
ReplyDeletethe neighborhood where that sign is located has gone from mostly factories & modest homes to high rises. it makes me think of occupy wall street and their movement.
ReplyDeletecool pics Cindy and my daughter loves zebra's design!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! I really love the Stanley & Sons signage. Looks like a vaudeville chest.
ReplyDeleteIf I bring 3 tents, I'll have a luxury penthouse!
I like the black and white through out the city with a splash of color. I am with you on the sign thing. xo

ReplyDeletei see zebras too- but then i live in africa and passed by some of them grassing on the side of the highway--- so guess i am slightly biased?
