"what about... something beautiful - again - and again - I want to do something beautiful...." says the child to her grandmother, and the grandmother feels very touched, smiles at the shopkeeper, because he reminds her of her first love, and the shopkeeper is getting embarrassed without knowing why, and gives a paper postcard to the child who says ..... "oh! that is soooo beautiful!!"

the REAL thing - again

In front of the building you have the traffic and underneath the buildings you have the rats and the subway and above the building you have the sky with disoriented geese which got stuck in the magnetic field of Lower Manhattan and are circling forever above Ground Zero, like a landmark and reminder to the well-known, much-talked-about event one day in 2001, but behind the buildings, behind them, you see the REAL thing. Only the geese can see it, but their sense of orientation has failed them.

SYMS and the woman

Question: Will these buses, some day, be protected as historical "moving landmarks"? ... and will a computer-animated woman continuously jump up and down this sidewalk? ... and will we be able to see this SYMS-sign in a museum, explain to us that it was
back then, in 2008, which was around the time of the financial crisis and right before everything CHANGED, SYMS stood for a cooperation which operated a chain of 33 off-price retail stores located in the United States. Its merchandise consisted primarily of men's tailored clothing and haberdashery, women's dresses, suits and separates, children's apparel and men's, women's and children's shoes.
Will this be the case?

Lower Manhattan

Geography of a bar counter

And he started laughing with his own big mouth, thinking he made a good joke. ... only that the first Mexican man was standing in front of and the other one behind the counter.
