What is this?

I strive to be curious. This blog is a sort of exercise in keeping my eyes and ears open for the subtle inspiration in this big city. Here are some of the results...

Odds & ends...


Economy Candy on Rivington. NYC. Wonderful, nostalgic, sweet place. Purchased a few packs of baseball cards from 1989-1991. Here are a couple of my favorites... and a card marked by a 20 year old gum stain.


Henry Miller's Theatre on W. 43rd. This theatre will soon be renamed the Stephen Sondheim Theatre which I'm thrilled about, but Mr. Miller's legacy will also forever live on here. Here's a sort of photo sculpture which I'm not sure I got remotely near the correct angle, but it combines to show Henry's face.

And a couple from the hinterlands of Queens (my neighorhood)...


This is the Catholic church a couple blocks from my place. The carillon in the tower plays the most beautiful tunes. And it's far enough into the distance that it becomes a sort of soothing part of the fabric of sound around the place. Love it!


And here's the Astoria-Kaufman Studios, a mere 15 minute walk from my place. They shoot Sesame Street here. I really want to try to visit the set one of these days. It would be a wonderful fulfillment of a dream.
