There's NO Parking on Sidewalks
_____
It's so out of control. And some are placing their neon construction vests on the dashboard as proof they can just randomly do as they please, and are seemingly getting away with it. These vehicles are never towed, or even ticketed.
What if a disabled person needed to get past?
Or a citizen in a wheelchair for that matter?

The Long Island City Clock Tower building had been constructed in 1927 by the Manhattan Company, a holding company that in 1955 merged with the Chase National Bank to create the Chase Manhattan Bank. For more than 60-years, the clock tower building had been the tallest commercial building in Queens, Until it was surpassed in 1990 by other structures, the building with the clock towered over the Queensborough Bridge and the elevated Flushing and Astoria subway lines running next to it.
In 2014, the Long Island City Clock Tower was purchased by developers, using land and air rights from the clock tower, as well as air rights from an adjacent lot owned by and purchased from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), a 77-story residential tower, Sven, was constructed by the Durst Organization.
Working with the Landmarks Preservation Commission, the Durst Organization hired a team of architects to restore the dilapidated glass and cast iron clock faces of this neo-Gothic tower. Those leading the project sought to swap the damaged frosted glass panels with a type of acrylic and replace the cast iron dials with aluminum—durable materials that can endure years in the elements.
The brown-brick landmark, with its castellated clocktower turret, will eventually be repurposed into a commercial and retail space.
You never realize how hilly the borough of Queen's really is until you either walk it or ride a bike through it

Twice per weekday I walk past this small outcrop of earth situated along Skillman Avenue and the Sunnyside Train Yard and it's just a little something that gives me so much pleasure, as each of the seasons are contained within this one small triangular island that's sandwiched between the intersection of Skillman & 43rd Avenues in Long Island City, Queens, NYC

William Tarr’s 1974 weathering Cor-Ten steel black sculpture stands atop the plaza of Martin Luther King Jr. High School down the street from Lincoln Center on the Upper West Side at 66th and Amsterdam. All four sides of this cube include important dates in the life of the civil rights leader as well as famous quotes.
The cube is also covered with lots of cryptic initials. BTWHS/MC/CTS/BU is a list of his schools: Booker T. Washington High School, Morehouse College, Crozer Theological School and Boston University. SCLC/MIA are the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the Montgomery Improvement Association. On another side are the initials of his family: CSK is Coretta Scott King, and and a block with his four children: Yolanda King, Martin Luther King III, Dexter King and Bernice King. ‘RDA stands for the Rev. Ralph D. Abernathy; ‘JJ for the Rev. Jesse Jackson and ‘BR for Bayard Rustin. Among the dates in his life are 12/10/64, for his acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize and 4/4/68 for the date of his assassination.
“Let us be dissatisfied until every man can have food and material necessities for his body, culture and education for his mind, freedom and human dignity for his sprit.”

About the Artist:
William (Bill) Tarr (1925 – 2006) was a sculptor, painter, photographer, magician, bestselling author, husband, father, and dedicated artist for over 50 years. His monumental public works have been seen by millions from all over the world, and his 30 x 30 x 30 ft. welded steel memorial to the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King is perhaps New York City’s most renowned public work. Yet, Bill remains relatively unknown.

I see this quite often along my walks to/from my office, though mostly with cinched filled baggies. The fine for public urination must be more than littering, though with the baggies and this cup, it should be a double penalty
--
In New York City, public urination is a civil offense, not a criminal offense, and is covered by Section 16-118 of the Administrative Code. First-time offenders can receive a fine of up to $75, with subsequent offenses within 12 months resulting in fines of $250–$350 for a second offense and $350–$450 for a third offense. Offenders will receive a civil ticket instead of a criminal summons and will not have a criminal record if found guilty. Administrative courts may also require offenders to perform community service.

Beautiful afternoon. Today I had an appointment in Kips Bay (on the eastside of Manhattan, NYC) though I still opted to ride the #7 train to its last stop in Manhattan, which is Hudson Yards, on the complete other side of Manhattan island from my appointment. There I walked 10 blocks south along the High Line, followed by 9 long avenues across town to 1st Avenue. Such a great walk. And it was so nice out, like an early Spring day.

This morning along my walk to work I happened upon this 5 toothed iron bucket for a backhoe sitting by its lonesome along the walkway on the Honeywell Street bridge, and with no work crew, or anyone for that matter, in sight. It hadn't been there yesterday afternoon so probably a night crew. Still kinda strange. I noticed it from a distance and just couldn't figure out what it could possibly be. Being constructed of iron is no doubt why it was still there as it probably weighs a ton.

The best part of my job is my ability to work to/fro my place of employment, and I certainly see a lot of strange people and things along my walks. The "regular commuters" are apparently the one's in the cars, on the buses and subways, though us walkers, we are certainly having much more fun

The Brazilian was offered an inviting wall 11 meters high by 17 wide, located just above the wall of the workshop and strategically positioned on the horizon of those who passed the High Line, the disabled railway branch that became a suspended park and one of the most popular points of Manhattan.
For this great panel, keeping his time machine in Times Square in 1945, Kobra recovered the best known image of the celebration of the United States' victory over Japan in World War II, the sweeping kiss of sailor George Mendonsa and nurse Greta Friedman, and added a burst of color to Alfred Eisenstaedt's iconic photograph.
Instantly, the capital of the world gained a new tourist attraction: visitors started to flock to the High Line to click the Kiss, It was also pointed out as one of the 10 most photographed spots in selfies in New York.
