Here is the last block of West 10th Street before we hit the highways and the river.

And on the other side of the street, although lacking dramatic slanting sunlight, we have a cute little bike in front of a mini-storage building.  Mini-storage or self-storage refers to a business that rents units to individuals in which to store their excess goods, like old term papers and baby carriages.  There are many such buildings in New York with its notoriously small apartments.  This is a fairly not bad-looking building, but go here to see some really ugly mini-storage buildings.  Remember quonset huts?  I think that's where it all started.
