Photos Showcasing My City

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, and I've heard a lot of misconceptions about my city. This isn't like HONY (which I love, btw), because this isn't about the people of New York. This is a blog about the interactions and the places that we've made....

Happy 4th - Enjoy some majestic tall ships from today’s parade up and down the Hudson. It was the kind of experience that your cheeks hurt afterwards from smiling so much :D

The ships in order are:

1. Amerigo Vespucci - Italy

2. Lynx - USA (Massachusetts)

3. Unión - Peru

4. USCGC Eagle - USA

5. Pride of Baltimore II - USA (Maryland)

6. Sagres - Portugal

7. Mircea - Romania

8. Juan Sebastián de Elcano (& detail of sailors in rigging) - Spain

9. Elissa - USA (Texas)

10. Video of the Unión

Cool cool cool so we will have limited power in a heat wave, we should use dry ice (which releases carbon dioxide in enclosed spaces and can cause severe burns if you’re not careful) while it storms out

Also if you can read the topmost message they will be firing off cannons and buzzing us with jets tomorrow morning starting at 8am

But the tourists are having a great time!

Just what every New Yorker loves! Low flying aircraft and loud explosions!

Decades before the New York City subway cars were lined with advertisements for niche dating apps, personal injury lawyers, prescription weight loss medicines, and alternative internet browsers, the interiors of many of the city’s trains were adorned with editions of the two-toned mock newspaper known as The Subway Sun. Primarily produced between 1936 and 1965 under the artistic direction of late cartoonists Fred Cooper and Amelia Opdyke Jones, the imitation periodical campaign by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT) fulfilled a variety of purposes in the subway system for over five decades. It encouraged polite passenger etiquette, but also promoted local attractions as a way to entice New Yorkers to use public transit — from the Metropolitan Museum of Art to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
