(Photos by Joe) I wanted to get something up so here ya’ go. Of note, when I was a freshman in high school many moons ago, me and two of my friends cut school in Staten Island and went into the Village. It was the first time we ever did somthing like that–go into the big, [...]
Lower Manhattan & Statue of Liberty from Staten Island Ferry
(Photos by Joe) I’m surprised that I don’t already have a set of photos like these from the Staten Island Ferry. Though oddly, knowing I’m always in need of photos for this site, I either forget or am too lazy to take pics sometimes. Like the other day–I was sitting on the John F. Kennedy boat, admiring [...]

(James Webb Space Telescope in Battery Park – Photos by Joe) NASA unveiled the James Webb Space Telescope in Battery Park. The five billion dollar telescope is set to replace the Hubble in 2014. From a few hundred feet, I had thought it was some sort of bandshell. But as I came closer, I told a friend with me that it looked [...]

(Barrow Street, Manhattan - Photos by Joe) A stranger named Ehrie with an East European accent paid me a surprise visit on Barrow St. in the West Village. My friend Benny, “the cigar store Indian” had sent him to teach me how to “disappear.” Ehrie said it would enable me to avoid the attention of ghosts, demons, and the various paranormal phenomena in NYC. Along the narrow block Ehrie wouldn’t [...]
Walking on Greenwich Ave from 6th Ave to 7th Ave S
(Tiles For America, Greenwich Ave & 7th Ave S – Photos by Joe) Photos are in the order of my footsteps. I like the idea of snapping pics away as I walk up a street. Expect to see a lot more of these types of picture posts. Here are my STORIES and PHOTOS
Walking up 6th Ave from W 3rd to W 9th Street
(Photos by Joe) I was walking though the Village and took these pics. I have a bad habit of photographing-while-walking. I’m always in a rush, even when I’m out for a stroll. I have a bunch more from this set I will put up soon. For the record, 6th Avenue is also called Avenue of [...]
Kings County Hospital
(Kings County Hosptal in East Flatbush, Brooklyn – Photos by Joe) Did you know that the Army trains medical personnel at Kings County because they have such a large influx of gunshot and stabbing victims? Source - Wikipedia.com That’s probably why the City Morgue is located right around the block. Kings County is a massive facility. From what I can see [...]
Rockefeller Center
(Photos by Joe) As a kid I can remember going to Rockefeller Center during the Christmas Season. So it’s interesting to note that no matter what time of year, I can’t pass through here without picturing the huge tree and all the angels they set out. There are a few pics of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral. That’s [...]
Grand Central Station
(Photos by Joe) Technically, Grand Central Station is Grand Central Terminal. But only people from Jersey call it the latter. Speaking of the Garden State, here is what happened the last time I went there: Eighth Episode – May/June 2009 (Bald Punk Goes to New Jersey) Bald Punk Crosses the Husdon! 40 Ounce Dreams and Katz [...]
