Moving Buildings & a Manhattan “estate”

Written on May 30, 2008. Written by lorene.

On June 7 they will be moving Alexander Hamiliton’s “country home” a couple of blocks up near 141st street. The best part of this article is the description of Hamiliton’s 32 acre northern Manhattan estate. 32 acres!?! Too bad he got shot in Weekhawken only a couple of years after it was built.

6 years ago today

Written on September 11, 2007. Written by lorene.

This was written the evening of September 11, 2001.
I can remember thinking about my day ahead as I walked down 23rd street this morning. I’d go the gym, and then get home in time for open mic night at Ristra. I walked into work at 8:45, the same as always, and sat at my desk […]

Who is John Galt?

Written on August 23, 2007. Written by lorene.

I was listening to WABC radio this morning and they were talking about the fire at the Deutsche Bank building. Apparently the subcontracting was done by a holding company called the John Galt Corporation. Obviously someone was an Ayn Rand fan. Oh the irony.
I wonder how many people caught that.

Wooster on Spring

Written on December 13, 2006. Written by lorene.

Yesterday I met up with my friend Ryan (and eventually his wife as well) in Soho. They are visiting from California. We did some shopping, had a snack at Rice to Riches, and walked to 11 Spring Street.

11 Spring Street has been an unoffical mecca of NY street art for ages, but it was […]

The Cloisters

Written on August 21, 2006. Written by lorene.

Last, last weekend I had plans to do “something” with my sister Vanessa. We didn’t actually have plans for or plans. I was thinking that there were a couple of art exhibits I wanted to see, but Saturday was supposed to be too nice to spend in a museum. I was also thinking of […]

Photos about the town

Written on August 3, 2006. Written by lorene.

The other day I was walking across Hoboken when I came across the Hudson County Homing Pigeon Club on Newark and Grand(?). Shouldn’t the sign say HCHPC?

Last week when I was walking home I came across this apparent meetup of the low rung of mobile police officers…the cushman and scooter cops, on 23rd & […]
