Hey, what happened to the Coney Island post? One second it was there on my Google Reader, the next, when I clicked on your blog from Reader, it's not there. Anyway, I wanted to comment that yes, it is, indeed, depressing chronicling the demise of this city and the rise of the Scary Sadshaws and the yunnies. That's why I'm retiring from "blogging" and from reading such blogs. It was [n]fun while it lasted. Cheers, nonetheless.

Heh. Sorry about that Coney Island post, Esquared...I'll have it live (again) tomorrow morning.

I'm sorry to hear about your retirement. I really liked what you did. Or like what you do. Please stop buy for a visit. We need more people like you...Maybe we'll get some more elbow room one of these days...

Hi BB,

I shot this one on Fulton Street near Water Street...I've seen them other places, though, too...Thinking about calling?
