New York City (NYC), often called the City of New York or simply New York (NY), is the most populous city in the United States. With an estimated 2018 population of 8,398,748 distributed over about 302.6 square miles (784 km2), New York is also the most densely populated major city in the United States. Located at the southern tip of the U.S. state of New York, the city is the center of the New York metropolitan area, the largest metropolitan area in the world by urban landmass. With almost 20 million people in its metropolitan statistical area and approximately 23 million in its combined statistical area, it is one of the world's most populous megacities. New York City has been described as the cultural, financial, and media capital of the world, significantly influencing commerce, entertainment, research, technology, education, politics, tourism, art, fashion, and sports. Home to the headquarters of the United Nations, New York is an important center for international diplomacy.
Situated on one of the world's largest natural harbors, New York City is composed of five boroughs, each of which is a county of the State of New York. The five boroughs—Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island—were consolidated into a single city in 1898. The city and its metropolitan area constitute the premier gateway for legal immigration to the United States. As many as 800 languages are spoken in New York, making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world. New York is home to more than 3.2 million residents born outside the United States, the largest foreign-born population of any city in the world as of 2016. As of 2019, the New York metropolitan area is estimated to produce a gross metropolitan product (GMP) of $2.0 trillion. If greater New York City were a sovereign state, it would have the 12th highest GDP in the world. New York is home to the highest number of billionaires of any city in the world.
New York City traces its origins to a trading post founded by colonists from the Dutch Republic in 1624 on Lower Manhattan; the post was named New Amsterdam in 1626. The city and its surroundings came under English control in 1664 and were renamed New York after King Charles II of England granted the lands to his brother, the Duke of York. New York was the capital of the United States from 1785 until 1790, and has been the largest U.S. city since 1790. The Statue of Liberty greeted millions of immigrants as they came to the U.S. by ship in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is a symbol of the U.S. and its ideals of liberty and peace. In the 21st century, New York has emerged as a global node of creativity and entrepreneurship and environmental sustainability, and as a symbol of freedom and cultural diversity. In 2019, New York was voted the greatest city in the world per a survey of over 30,000 people from 48 cities worldwide, citing its cultural diversity.
Many districts and landmarks in New York City are well known, including three of the world's ten most visited tourist attractions in 2013. A record 62.8 million tourists visited New York City in 2017. Times Square is the brightly illuminated hub of the Broadway Theater District, one of the world's busiest pedestrian intersections, and a major center of the world's entertainment industry. Many of the city's landmarks, skyscrapers, and parks are known around the world. Manhattan's real estate market is among the most expensive in the world. New York is home to the largest ethnic Chinese population outside of Asia, with multiple distinct Chinatowns across the city. Providing continuous 24/7 service and contributing to the nickname The City that Never Sleeps, the New York City Subway is the largest single-operator rapid transit system worldwide, with 472 rail stations. The city has over 120 colleges and universities, including Columbia University, New York University, Rockefeller University, and the City University of New York system, which is the largest urban public university system in the United States. Manhattan is home to the world's two largest stock exchanges by total market capitalization, namely the New York Stock Exchange, located on Wall Street in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, and NASDAQ, headquartered in Midtown Manhattan.

720 years ago someone erected a cross here. 370 years ago someone destroyed it. No mention when this plate was laid. Today thousands trample this walkway oblivious to the carved inscription and the history behind it. Times.

This Kansas homesteader must have been doing well. An addition was added to the front of the original home. It is located in Marshall County, Kansas on the East River Road, not far from the Big Blue River. Pentax K 30
An abandoned Manor just left, full of nik naks, photographs etc., a genuine time bubble if a trifle messy in parts
Times Square est un quartier en constante effervescence, à toute heure du jour et de la nuit, qui reflète sans doute le mieux l'activité de New York. C'est une sorte de microcosme à l'intérieur de la ville, avec ses magasins géants et ses affiches démesurées : publicités pour des voitures, pour des séries télévisées, ou pour des pièces de théâtre devenues mythiques jouées dans les théâtres voisins de Broadway.
Shen Garden, Shaoxing, China.
Shen Garden is located between Yan'an Road and Luxun Road，and is less than 300 meters away from Lu Xun's former residence. As one of the more representative of the southern garden, Shen Garden was initially established in the South Song Dynasty, and is well-known for the beautiful and mournful love story between Lu You and Tang Wan.
Lu You and Tang Wan were deep in love with each other and got married in 1144. But, Lu You’s mother was not satisfied with Tang Wan. She finally made her son cast off Tang Wan and send her home in 1145. Afterwards, Lu You and Tang Wan respectively got married to other people and lost contact with each other.
Ten years later, they met each other again when Lu You was wondering in a gloomy mood in Shen Garden, and accidently encountered Tang Wan and her husband, who came to Shen Garden to enjoy the spring too. The two met with sorrow as deep as sea. And the deeply-buried love seems to be the hardest word between them. With the agreement of her husband, Tang Wan sent a servant to send food and drink to Lu You as a greeting and then left. Lu You recalled the happy memory, and felt so sad that he got drunk and wrote a Ci poem on a wall of Shen Garden to express his sorrow and regret. Later, Tang Wan saw the poem and wrote one in reply. She was so disheartened that she fell sick and died before long. Her death left an incurable scar in Lu You’s heart. Lu You revisited the garden for many times and wrote a lot of poems in memory of Tang Wan. These poems together with the two Ci poems and the tragic love story made Shen Garden a famous garden.

Crazy times over here at Hufnagel Cycles. I have shut down my shop and taken off on a long journey to Patagonia with my long time shot mate James Crowe on a couple of amazing motorcycles that he made. We have been working really hard for a long time to make it happen and the next year is surely going to be amazing.
Before taking off I made an extra Porteur bike that is for sale and eagerly awaiting a home! I've attached a bunch of photos below.
It is a 56 cm seattube with a 61 cm toptube.
It is built with the Schmidt SONdelux SL front hub that operates with out wire connectors and instead transmits the electric current for the lights through the axle and into a fork built specially for it. All the wires are internal and hidden and the wheel comes on and off like any normal wheel!
Custom made taillight with red glass lens, all made in house.
The Handle bars and brake levers are custom machined to allow for use of the new Paul reverse brake levers on these handlebars. The levers just bolt straight into the bars. It's pretty slick. Nice reverse levers for this thickness of handlebar are hard to come by and I'm stoked that we made this work. The bars also have a nice raw aluminum brushed finish that looks really nice.
And last thing to point out... the rear dropouts are vintage Zues track ends that my pal B.B. sent my way a while back. I think they are awesome and you certainly won't find to many other bikes rolling around with them.
Feel free to hit me with any other questions at jordan@hufnagelcycles.com
It is already boxed up and ready to ship out.
If you are interested in James and I's travels we have a website at wearewestamerica.com where we will be making updates.
Thanks so much, and I hope you have all had a great fall!!
