It will make streetscapes a little less forbidding after hours too. And if you can actually look in closed shop windows, chances are you'll see something that will bring you back when they're open. All that said, I will miss some of the better graffiti art such as this.Terry at Blue Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13504693954312787975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-83306527180589321382009-12-04T11:28:35.696-05:002009-12-04T11:28:35.696-05:00Hi Susu

There are plenty of war stories about Alphabet City, and from not long ago.<br /><br />Hi Olivier<br />I agree, I love their music and time period!<br /><br />Thanks Lou!<br /><br />Hi Chicken<br />Thanks for the link. I am disappointed. Wouldn't the opening in gates allow for vandals to spray paint the storefronts? That would mean more expenses for store owners.<br /><br />Hi Ken<br />I'm surprised...you know this city inside-out!<br /><br />Thanks so much Jose!<br /><br />Hi Miss B<br />The mommies are in full force everywhere, even the grungiest places. They are intrepid!<br /><br />Thanks Terry, for the link<br />As I said to ChickenUnderwear, it's too bad this law was passed. I have to wonder how the cityscape will change, as a result?Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260829805068114560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-42508047526674630092009-12-03T12:48:21.439-05:002009-12-03T12:48:21.439-05:00Roll down doors have become an endangered species,...Roll down doors have become an endangered species, Kitty. According to an <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/01/nyregion/01gates.html?_r=1" rel="nofollow">article in the New York Times</a>, the City Council has voted to phase them out starting in 2011.
