That broke-ass "Greenpointer" is such a fucking hipster!
A real Greenpointer's guide to living cheaply in the 'hood: Buy food from the obiadys. Five dollars will get you a day's worth of grub.
Times Square images are always a sight to see. I'd seen them before but they bring back nostalgia. The adage 'look at it because you might not see it again' rings true for life in New York City. Even my characters in my short novel "Times Queer" go though buildings that are always being demolished and they must keep moving to survive. Life on the streets is no joke, then or now.

re: the hotel about the Highline- How come when poor people take off their clothes in public it's called innappropriate, illegal and disgusting but when rich people do it it's seen as sexy and delightfully free? I'm all for more openess with sexuality but the double standard is just another manifestation of money letting some people be "more equal than others".
Was in the West Village today--Nicky Smoke Shop on 6th Avenue and 10th Street--was renovated by the new owner and he kept the old timey style. Yeah!!I have a photo on my blog.
Magazines-smokes-street maps-yeah!!!Print still lives somewhere.
