At the rear or side of so many properties converted into offices or businesses are the emergency fire escapes required by modern legislation. Take a walk sometimes into the car parking they have at the back and lo-and-behold there will often be the obligatory fire escape! This one was on Avenue Road in Grantham.
Yesterday my mom woke me up early because she didn’t feel well. I took this pic of the sunrise sky just to brighten up her morning because she was not able to walk to the window.

“It was a time I slept in many rooms, called myself by many names. I wandered through the quarters of the city like alluvium wanders the river banks. I knew every kind of joy, ascents of every hue. Mine was the twilight and the morning. Mine was a world of rooftops and love songs.”

According to Forgotten-NY.com, Wankel's is "a neighborhood institution and have occupied their building since 1896. I consulted the bible in these matters, Ellen Williams and Steve Redlauer’s Historic Shops & Restaurants of New York, which states that the company was founded by musician Bernhart Wankel and his wife Elizabeth; a relative was Felix Wankel, who invented the Wankel rotary engine. Among their most popular early items were growlers, or wood buckets that were taken to local taverns to facilitate deliveries (as shown on their website). The founders’ great-granddaughter now runs the business.
Williams and Redlauer also make prominent mention that Wankel’s proudly hires physically and mentally challenged, as well as former homeless and refugees from repressive countries."
Labor Day weekend 2020 in Los Angeles: The covid virus still has its grip on the city. Adding to the woes, Los Angeles is in the midst of a heatwave with the temperature soaring to 109. Smoke from the surrounding wild fires hangs in the air. Standing on the fire escape offers a mask free moment to look down on the quiet city streets below.

"I find beauty in unusual things, like hanging your head out the window or sitting on a fire escape."

I used to have a little garden on my fire escape. It has changed a lot since the landlord cut down the ivy, but the pleasures of gardening include changing and adapting to new conditions... at least for me. To be updated ...

“My mouth is a fire escape.
The words coming out
don’t care that they are naked.
There is something burning in there.”
