Photo by myself outside Macy's department store, at 34th and 6th Avenue.
The lights are out already at Macy's, draped in the form of a huge Christmas Tree. Outside, pedicabs line up, waiting for fares.
There were parties everywhere in the city after the election results came in Tuesday, around 11pm. People in Fort Greene, Brooklyn danced in the streets in their nightgowns. Firecrackers were set off in Park Slope.
Mark had fallen asleep by then, and I watched the wrap up from the sofa with our puppy and cat.
Life went on as usual Wednesday. The subway was slow going in the morning. We had a little rain. My coworkers sauntered in at various times and we all sat down to work furiously.
It was the same as it ever was, only different.

I never wished I was in NY or Chicago as badly as I did yesterday!
But I felt the vibe!

I used to work at this Macy's in the display department. Every year at this time I have fond memories of decorating the inside of the store for the holidays. Everything had to be done by the Thanksgiving Day Parade.
I always look forward to seeing their windows too.
