2.  Bernice Abbott photographed this spot in 1936 when it was Sumner Healey Antiques.

Here's another photograph of tall buildings towering over a small one. I mean, a group of small ones. And, in fact, it's the same tall white building that was towering over St. Agnes from two nights ago. Although now I see, it's light brown in the front. Somehow it gives off whiteness.

And here is the street level view of this block of tenements – from 43rd Street to 44th. Long may they stand!

Ah, the Chrysler Building. One of the reasons to consider living on the East Side.

Extra post, Saturday morning. I need to catch up.

This is still a week ago Friday, I'm walking back to the office from my lunch time walk.

Okay, it's another shot of Turkish Kitchen, but look at those shapes, the black and white and those horizontal lines of red on the truck that echo the long red restaurant sign. I had to.

I'm in too much of a hurry tonight; I just posted a photograph and almost immediately deleted it. I hope no one saw it. This one I think is safe. I just feel calm looking at it. I took a lunch time walk today, down Third Avenue from 32nd to 26th and across 26th to Park Avenue South where I work. Third Avenue generally not so inspiring but this one is nice, I think.
