9/11 poster

September 9th, 2013



According to a crossing guard hanging out nearby, Our Lady of Guadalupe Church only puts up this poster and its companion around the anniversary of 9/11. I'm not counting temporary displays in my tally of 9/11 memorials, which is why this one, beautiful as it is, doesn't make the official list.

Some slimmer winter melons

Massive dangling gourds

Winter melons, I believe. And note the anti-bird CD (Rise of Nations).

The Old and the New

September 9th, 2013



This is one of two short remaining stretches of Old New Utrecht Road, a thoroughfare that dates back before 1850. The road has been wiped out between 14th and 17th Avenues, but vestiges of its former route running diagonally across the street grid can be found in aerial images: heading south from 14th Avenue, look for the handful of buildings with oddly angled midblock walls that would have once fronted the road.

Day 616

The moose head of Borough Park

September 6th, 2013



Torah Animal World is "a taxidermy museum claiming to display every animal mentioned in the Hebrew Bible" and then some. Here's an awesome photo from somebody's visit. The Living Torah Museum next door, run by the same guy, also has an eye-catching exhibit out front: an Amish-looking buggy. (I have no idea why.)

Day 616

They’ve moved!

September 6th, 2013



Underground Cutz (a.k.a. Barberz #85) has relocated, and, in a positively baffling move that no deceptive sandwich board can conceal, they've dropped the z! (Speaking of deceptive sandwich boards, this "grand opening" seems to have been occurring for more than two years now.)
