Brooklyn’s Freedom Tower View

Here’s the view of lower Manhattan from Brooklyn Bridge Park on a relatively warm winter afternoon.

It would be awesome if time travel were possible, because we’d like to send someone back in time to the years before the Brooklyn Bridge was built.

After stopping off in various years to stop a few people from becoming who they became and preventing them from doing what they did, we’d have this time traveler then install a digital panoramic camera in the spot where this photo was taken, so that we could see an awesome time-lapse video of a crowded New York harbor, the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge, and the construction of the many buildings that shape the New York skyline.

1.21 gigawatts!  Great Scott!!

The New Beginning Is Here

Your eyes do not deceive you, this is still BeehiveHairdresser.com.   After waiting for about a year for the right theme to come along within WordPress, we’ve finally found a new look that suits our needs.  It’s simple, a lot cleaner, and allows for wider photos.  All of which were things that we were unable to achieve with our former appearance.

So, welcome to the new us.  The new beginning is here!

*The above photo is of lower Manhattan, taken from the highest point of Brooklyn’s 4th Avenue/9th Street subway station, which is the temporary construction stairs and platform above the Manhattan bound F/G trains.

I Hate NYC #56 – Amateur Drunks Wasting Pizza

We wish that we had a personal photographer following us when we came upon this sad scene, because we would have turned to them and had a quiet tear falling down our cheek a la the Crying Indian.

This Sunday morning visual of an indecisive late Saturday night full of poor decisions was a horror to find.

Some drunks just don’t know how to handle their alcohol.  First they put mushrooms, olives and jalapeno peppers on perfectly good pizza, then they couldn’t even finish eating it.  It’s a darn shame.

Life lesson #1,238 is that when one is drunk in New York City and in need of food at 4AM, you order regular pizza (though pepperoni, sausage, eggplant and chicken pizza is acceptable if available) and you must eat what you buy – even if you know that you’re going to upchuck it before bed.

A Tomato Plant Grows In Manhattan

We all know that a tree grows in Brooklyn, but what you might not know, is that a tomato plant grows in Manhattan.

It’s true!  There’s a tomato plant growing up from one of the narrowest of cracks in the sidewalk outside of St. James’ Church on James Street in Lower Manhattan.  It’s a subtle reminder that when mankind ceases to exist, our planet will keep spinning, and a bastardized version of nature will be free to take over.
