So Make Up Your Mind Already

I mean come on. You flaunt these enormous — and sometimes stunningly beautiful — skyscrapers (I’m looking at you, Chrysler Building). They’re iconic and known the world over thanks to the thousand and one movies and million and one television programs filmed here. Even the newest have their charms.

 

One World Trade wraps itself in whatever the sky is doing to really dazzling effect at times.

 

 

 

Insider tip — It’s NOT the Freedom Tower. Only clueless tourists call it that. It’s One World Trade.

I’ve admitted it before and am only a little embarrassed to ‘fess up that turning any corner in the city that reveals one of the Real New York City Iconic Skyscrapers makes my heart dance to the chorus of New York, New York. Hey, I made it here. I’m allowed. If I do it quietly and don’t let anyone know I’m doing it.

 

 

 

 

The one on the bottom left may not be iconic to people outside of the City, but trust me, that’s an iconic view especially during the upcoming Halloween parade

The creds are there, the soaring and majestic towers are there. All the movies have established the concrete canyon ethos that young people around the world yearn to walk through.

 

Especially at night. Especially during a light rain.

But then there are these bizarre little pockets of pure weird. Are these really the way a World Class City wants to present itself? Do we see Singapore or London or Paris trotting out things like this?

 

 

Take away the green, living plants and this would be right at home at Burning Man

Austin, Texas maybe, but New York City? Ok, sure, there are corners of Soho that get a little odd, and Brooklyn, well, that’s another city altogether and we’re talking the CITY City.

Park Avenue? Really?

While a lot of weird still lingers in the Village, who expects to come across a reclining pink teddy bear on Park Avenue, for goodness sake?
