Fifth Avenue


Tried to visit Dave Beckerman today. alas, that didn't work out. Had to settle for Robert Frank Exhibit at the Met plus Acapella Soul + the Rat.
The Rat out in public, making an appeal to the public regarding the Rat's belief that the Met has hired a substandard company to remove Deadly Asbestos.
I love the Rat. wish he'd step up on health care.

MoMA


What makes for the ideal built environment? A roof over every head, a chicken in every pot. Sculpture in the garden. Am hoping my educated friends will inform via comment, who made these feet?

Loomings


There now is your insular city of the Manhattoes, belted round by wharves as Indian isles by coral reefs--commerce surrounds it with her surf. Right and left, the streets take you waterward. Its extreme downtown is the battery, where that noble mole is washed by waves, and cooled by breezes, which a few hours previous were out of sight of land. Look at the crowds of water-gazers there.--H. Melville

When I was little I wondered why so many places turned the alphabet off. Reading without comprehension is mixed blessing. I worried about the infamous Sand-Witch, she was everywhere.

There is no set curriculum, no government course, for learning how to be a neighbor, how to behave in the public realm.

flosser


Levi Spear Parmly, a dentist from New Orleans, is credited with inventing the first form of dental floss. He recommended that people should clean their teeth with silk floss in 1815. Dental floss was still unavailable to the consumer until the Codman and Shurtleft company started producing human-usable unwaxed silk floss in 1882. In 1898, the Johnson & Johnson Corporation received the first patent for dental floss. Other early brands included Red Cross, Salter Sill Co. and Brunswick.A character is depicted using dental floss in James Joyce's famous novel Ulysses (serialised 1918-1920) - an early mention of the practice in literary fiction.--Wikipedia

Fishbones, banners, signs, posters and handbills. Its manly space on the east side of town. The only architectural historicism here is a goodle days paean. The realm of the gas chariot. We heart 1965! But look close, still the 21st C, 'tis Gumby, behind the moose, the pictographic walkin' man.
