He must live in the neighborhood. I saw a squirrel house he must have done, too.<br /><br />Hi Washington<br />Please don't stress out too much about your oncoming trip. Times Square is generally pretty safe, and as I recall, you're not staying in the middle of it...You're two very long blocks away, which is a wise decision, since Times Square is very busy.<br /><br />I'm not one to live in fear, and I know most NYers are the same. It just upsets me to think what very easily <i>could</i> have happened. We're fortunate.<br /><br />Hi Robert<br />I think NYPD is all over the place, dealing with traffic, street vendors, etc. They are a presence in the city but they're not everywhere 100% of the time, so you can get away with graffiti and mosaics!<br /><br />Welcome Karen<br />Oh, have a lovely time here when you visit! The Fall is one of the best times to come.<br /><br />I'm sure you'll get loads of great photos. I feel like I'm shooting fish in a barrel sometimes, there's just so much to see.<br /><br />Hi Lily<br />Wow, that's nuts about the theater goers. I can understand since the tickets can be expensive. I think I would have been sufficiently freaked out to leave the area, lol.<br /><br />Ha, Miss B, you are a hoot!!<br />I cannot but agree with you there. ;-)<br /><br />Hi ρομπερτ<br />I agree with you. Shortly after 9/11, I was sitting with one of my bosses, whom I respected immensely. Someone asked her whether the world had changed. Naively I was thinking 'no, not at all', but she immediately said that yes, it has.<br /><br />That moment broke my idealism. I hope Athens is free of such daily fears.<br /><br />Hi Bibi<br />I hope people at some point realize that such meaningless violence should stop, and that life should be bigger than this. However there will always be some people who think differently.<br /><br />I'm glad you were able to see some of these mosaics while here. They are charming, no?Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260829805068114560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-78173758073011549242010-05-04T02:18:06.260-04:002010-05-04T02:18:06.260-04:00Excellent post, what you wrote, and the mosaics on...Excellent post, what you wrote, and the mosaics on the pole are very attractive. I admired many mosaics when in NYC. What's NYC guilty of? Nothing, unfortunately; just has a lot of people and a bomb would make a big mess....when will this stop?Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00241553607254199559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-28988908342766578902010-05-03T20:06:41.421-04:002010-05-03T20:06:41.421-04:00You for sure own the ability to see differently.
...You for sure own the ability to see differently. <br />Agree with you that a bomb is something horrible, and until moving to Athens, I did not know such a thing, seems indeed as if life has changed.<br />A safe and beautiful Tuesday for you all.<br /><br /><a href="http://tagein-tagaus-athen.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">daily athens <br /></a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-66550691995387974962010-05-03T19:24:01.966-04:002010-05-03T19:24:01.966-04:00Perhaps because New York City is The.

If we ...Terrorism is just too scary to think about. If we think about it too much, then we may get paralyzed by fear.<br />I think it's important to keep moving on yet never doubt our instincts. When something just doesn't feel right, it's time to evacuate the area - don't wait for someone to tell you to do so.<br />I heard more than one report where the police were telling people in Times Square to just leave and they didn't want to because they had theater tickets. I'm not sure what I would have done.dianasfaria.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10488357854017358868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-76061997410842089142010-05-03T10:03:07.504-04:002010-05-03T10:03:07.504-04:00Hi Kitty,

I think NYC is such a resiliant place as well as the people. <br /><br />Very glad to have found your photo blog. I love the daily snippets of life in NYC. I'm coming over in the fall on a photo trip & hope I can capture the city as well as you do.<br /><br />As for the decorated lamp post - genius! :)Karen Strunkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15682743339744852903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-31347979030767717162010-05-03T08:46:51.466-04:002010-05-03T08:46:51.466-04:00It's looking really cool, I'm just saying....It's looking really cool, I'm just saying...

It is a shock to know that there are still people inside US willing to perpetrate this kind of action. The place the car was parked is only 2 blocks away from the hotel we are going to stay on our trip to NYC. I tried to remain calm not to alarm my wife even more. It is an awful situation and I can only imagine what you (New Yorkers) are going through. But you are a brave people and no matter what, you will stand.Washingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380647542195306244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-68241132721861870192010-05-03T08:25:21.916-04:002010-05-03T08:25:21.916-04:00These mosaics are VERY noticeable!
