| East River ~ 7am ~ Oct 29, 2012 |
Brian Ferry tells me
"Love is the Drug,"as I sit writing here. Outside, it's picking up. Vertical rain and all that. Early this morning, I watched the swollen East River saturated in grey. An hour ago, I walked up to 84th and York. Took a photo and thought about my family's 116 consecutive years on this avenue, formerly called Avenue A changed by real estate speculators after WWI to cash in on war hero Sergeant Alvin York.
Remember Gary Cooper in the film?
Here are a few pictures of a spot on York over the years.
Batten the hatches!
