The city is pretty nice when everyone goes away for the long weekend and
the town fills up with tourists and out of towners. This is a rather muddled picture of a garbage truck reflected in the window of the now defunct Viceroy diner on 8th Avenue.
This man is waiting to cross 17th Street. A century ago people would have been aghast to see a woman in pants.....equal opportunity in clothing for all.....
People in general on 14th St and 9th Avenue.
A rather retro dry cleaners.............
I'm not quite sure where this character (seen here on the corner of 23rd St and 8th Avenue) gets his costume laundered. For some reason I sight him about once a year.
We used to have one crossing guard who actually crossed children and handicapped people. We now have three who chat to each other........
Anyway, I managed to walk on the little bit of The High Line between 20th and 23rd Street that for some reason I'd missed. A nice soft lawn for sitting on.....
and a grove of trees to emerge from.......
Happy Labor Day!
