Greenwich Village, Washington Square West at West Washington Place

It's vacation time for me. I'm off to Michigan for a week to visit Tom, Jeni, Nathan, Carrie and Ellen. Umm, vacation.

See you next Thursday night. Don't forget!

Here's the final photo of Saturday night's mini walk. Washington Square. Lots of things have happened here, going way, way back. But that's a story for another time.

It's a little before 7 o'clock and look how dark it is already! Doesn't it seem just wrong that the longest day of the year is at the beginning of summer? It should come in the middle, don't you agree?

Aren't you glad you don't live at the equator where the days and nights are equal all year long?

MacDougal Street changes its name to Washington Square West as it runs alongside Washington Square which is where we are now, looking across at Hayden Hall. According to New York Song Lines, Hayden Hall was built in 1957 as a residence hall for law students at New York University, and incorporated the Holley Chambers Hotel, which I take to be the building to the left. Now first year students live in Hayden Hall. Welcome, all NYU students, drink responsibly.

Boy, did I love going to college. Can't say those were the happiest days of my life since I was mostly depressed, but I sure loved it.

Happiness isn't everything.
