Guess where this is from…

Seriously, take a guess and then take a peek after the jump…

I’ll admit it…I like stenciled graffiti.  Say hello to my little friend!!!

And now that you’ve seen this, I must allow the aliens to come take you away…

Seriously, say hello and then get on the spaceship!

While strolling along Beach at Collister Street I noticed some great street art…the light switch.

It was on this street lamp!

Here’s a sultry shot of it…

I can’t quite make out the name of the artist on the side here…but whomever they may be, I really dug the switch. 

I even flipped it on, and it made me feel as though I might have incidentally and unwittingly flipped the switch to some magical hole rigged with explosives, so I turned it off quickly.

There are some special messages for yuppies and hipsters down on Staple Street in Tribeca.  The good people down there declare that both yuppies and hipsters are not welcome, so stay away!

Only the original artists, homeless and people who are mega rich by inheritance or pop culture are welcome! 

Children of doctors and lawyers need not apply!

TriBeCa is the real estate name of the area that was once called the Lower West Side.  The name is a syllabic abbreviation for “Triangle Below Canal Street”.

It’s a neighborhood where wealthy people and lucky artists from the 70s and 80s live in “modest” 2,000 plus square foot apartments.  I say modest, because JFK Jr used to live down there and many news sources would claim that he lived in a “modest” 2,600 square foot apartment.  A friend of mine used to live in a 2,000 square foot place in Tribeca and it was HUGE!!!

Aside from the beautiful architecture that the neighborhood has, I noticed that those well to do residents of Tribeca hate picking up after their dogs – not even with leather gloves on!!!

I had noticed so much dog poop sprayed all over the streets and sidewalks that at times my walk felt like I was playing hopscotch with multiple rocks, or in this case poops, that were blocking a wild amount of squares that needed to be skipped.  

I eventually started counting the poop (after seeing dozens of landmines) and in a brief portion of my walk I counted 83 locations of dog poop!!!

Aside from the poop problem that Tribeca has, they also have a passive aggressive problem…

There are NUMEROUS signs that adore buildings, or in this case a lamp post, stating that there is video surveillance and to curb your dog – it truly was amazing!
