Continuing on from here.....
As I've mentioned, I'm back out of a job these days, so I've taken over the dropping-off and picking-up of my kids at their school ... a Bataan Deathmarch-like trek across the East Village. I don't mind, really. I've been roaming these very streets for decades now, and even though they really aren't quite as interesting to me as they used to be, my eyes are still regularly caught by little things here and there (which is why I try to always have a camera on me when I do these walks). Back in the 80s and 90s, I'd regularly scour these walls looking for interesting graffiti, cool street art, hardcore show flyers or anything else that seemed provocative (and there used to be plenty of it). Nowadays? Not so much. Such are the effects of time and gentrification. But, y'know, old habits die hard....
