This was a place Paco took me to in Austin. He says that they make the best midnight burgers. Fueled by Punk Rock and gallons of Mustard these guys were quite a pair. This was one of my first experiments with time shifted panorama.
In the large dark kitchen of the monastery a huge pot of steaming soup. The monk used an implement that looked like an electric drill to stir the soup.
last week i had the pleasure of meeting the master of the breathtaking landscape, scott foy, whose postcards of the scottish countryside transport me with every pixel. and after walking around for about an hour i said, "you want a beer?" he said yes before i could finish my sentence, and we sat here at a streetside cafe, enjoying the summery spring weather and analyzing the endless stream of vehicular beauty passing by. look, a new charger! ooooh, there's a pontiac solstice, would you look at those curvy wheel wells! look at the rims on that magnum, they must be 18 inches! hey, check out that...
it was a lovely afternoon. :-)
I love neon; it's no secret. And it's always fun to find a neon sign that contains a shape that announces the kind of place it is. Here, we have a pair of cat-eye pink-rimmed glasses--a throwback to the fabulous 1950s--with some of the services provided in the space inside the frames where prescription lenses would be. Great concept!
However there's much more going on inside the store, as well as on the reflecting surface of the shop window. The back wall features a bright yellow mural with large flowers and leaves, with images of eyes interspersed in circles and triangles. There is also a reflected image of the building and restaurant across the street, including an awning for the Istanbul Kebab House. But I've forgotten whether the white on black omega symbol at the center of the frame is inside the store or posted in a window across the street.
I'll have to go back some day to solve the mystery...

The Vought F-8 Crusader (originally F8U) was a single-engine, supersonic, carrier-based air superiority jet aircraft built by Vought for the United States Navy and Marine Corps, replacing the Vought F7U Cutlass, and for the French Navy. The first F-8 prototype was ready for flight in February 1955. The F-8 served principally in the Vietnam War. The Crusader was the last American fighter with guns as the primary weapon, earning it the title "The Last of the Gunfighters"
The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum,located at pier 86 at 46th Street, was originally founded in 1982 with the aircraft carrier USS Intrepid as its centerpiece. In addition to the USS Intrepid, the museum showcases the submarine USS Growler, a Concorde SST, a Lockheed A-12 supersonic reconnaissance plane, and the Space Shuttle Enterprise as well as numerous other aircrafts and the Exploreum, an interactive hall for children.
Twin America is a joint venture involving Stagecoach that operate the bulk of open top tours of New York City.
This must be the oldest bus left on city tours, a 1986 ECW coach bodied Leyland Olympian built new for Grosvenor Coach Lines, San Francisco for Gray Line work but this was one of seven that migrated east to New York in 1999 although this was the only one I came across in 2011.

This Halloween TP Mini Album is fanned open to show all five layhouts. The theme is Hell's Kitchen with Chef Demon Ramsay.
Much of Hells Kitchen still consists of low-rise tenement buildings. This is as a result of the "Special Clinton District" regulation established by the City of New York in 1972.
The Special Clinton District consists of three distinct regulations:
1) Preservation Area: The area from 43rd to 56th Streets between 8th and 10th Avenues must consist of residential buildings less than 7 stories tall. (What you see above)
2) Perimeter Area: 8th Ave between 42nd & 57th St allowed for larger residential and commercial buildings
3) Mixed Use Area: 10th and 11th Avenues between 43rd and 50th Streets for mixed residential and manufacturing buildings.
After September 11th, Mayor Bloomberg relaxed many building regulations which led to a building boom in Hells Kitchen. Many new buildings are currently in construction or have been built in what used to be the preservation area.
