The destination and the last photo of this walk.  Alex Shoe Repair.  Bill (my son) arrived today and tomorrow we plan to walk on Ft. George Avenue.  Come back tomorrow to find out where that is.

In keeping with this blog's longstanding tradition of eventless postings, here is a non-Christmas photograph on Christmas Eve.

I'm happy with it. It looks kind of sweet to me, in a Little Town of Bethlehem sort of way.

Merry Christmas everyone! Don't forget the cookies for Santa.

Didn't want to go on a photowalk today, didn't want to go, but I did. I needed some new shots, starting tonight, so I had to go. If you're here in New York, you know how unappealing that was. Hot, very muggy, rain threatening. I just wanted to drink iced coffee in the air conditioning and watch pundits on TV. But out I trudged, picking a street close to home, Nagle Avenue, which turned out to be most uninspiring. Or was it the poor light? Or was it me?

However, all complaining aside, I have a few nice photos for you. Here's the first one, taken from the subway platform (elevated) when I arrived at 207th Street.

This is shot from the bridge, looking west along 207th Street into Inwood with the elevated subway stop off in the distance, quite tiny. Something about these guys . . . so jaunty, jolly, as Mel Brooks might say.

My notes say this is 207th Street, but something's not making sense. I'll check it next time I'm over there, but for now let's just say it's the end of, well, it's the end of something, that's for sure.

That leaning pink post is what made me do it. You can see that, right? The whole thing reminds me of paintings by Carroll Dunham.

To the right is the entrance to the University Heights Bridge, which 207th Street leads into. See the problem?

Somewhere on my list of things I’m grateful for is that men will walk the streets with red t-shirts on their big broad backs. Thank you!

And there’s what’s left of the OLD Dunkin’ Donuts sign. The new one, just up the block, was featured on July 8th.
