Second Avenue 2

Second Avenue above 79th Street, Manhattan
Almost unbelievably, the subway photo ban may not happen. A public authority in New York actually listened to public comments? Are pigs flying?

Mike, it's NYC. Pigs always fly. Oh wait, no, that was a Kids in the Hall sketch, sorry. BLumberg was at least a member of the cast wasn't he?
Pics still look good, though I don't look at them as much as I should. Damn good shit to shoot in Yark, maybe I'll get there someday.

God how I miss signs like that. Viewing such things daily on my way to P.S.6 - it's a miracle I can put a sentence together at all!

Is the city kidding with "Crack is Wack" Playground. Are we all to learn and accept ebonics now? Is the password to get in "yo sup"?

As if too say that there is no decay across any other city, trust me I have been all over the world and have seen much worse.

uh...yeah mike...the password to get in the park is "kill a corny cracker". the woes of this city and this world is certainly not ebonics my friend. sign is likely a spoof or a nod to the '80s crack epidemic in NYC's neighborhoods. a little public service announcement from the city to the kids - who probably laugh harder than you do at the sign. kinda like Mister T rapping while Nancy Reagan beat boxes in an attempt to connect with youth culture. we laugh and so should you.
