Many times along my walks I happen upon discarded items/litter thrown down upon the street, and often I will stop and look at them. Sometimes even photograph them, that is, if I feel there's a story there. There's definitely a story here..

I'm not certain what this building is about, though the bottom half looks to be manufacturing, with the upper black section resembling a fashion-incubator, from what I've observed on the rare occasion when I've taken the train.

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.
