Tompkins Square Park Halloween Dog Show 2013

I usually do not like it when people, especially adults who know better, 

dress animals in human clothing.  

This year, I found an exceptional exception among the leashed and uninhibited 

in the Tompkins Square Park Dog Run. 

(It was a riot.)

Will you still need me? Will you still feed me?

This delightful couple ...

... came down to the Hudson ...

... on a Saturday afternoon ...

... to share a bag of fries.

They pay homage ...

... to the new World Trade Center ...

... by enjoying their shared affections ...

... for french fries, freedom and love.

Edward Hopper Ground Zero, Greenwich and Avenue of the Americas

The more things change, the more the past reveals itself to us ...

Good news: No more insufferable Marc Jacobs signs, hand-painted with irony, on this wall.

More good news: No more insufferable 9/11 hand-painted clay squares tied to the chain-link like some maudlin kindergarten project gone bathetically wrong.

Bad news: MTA architects will decide what replaces this corner, which, like the rest of this asterisk-shaped intersection (former home to the stately Loews) & the length of (preserved) Greenwich Avenue, continues to be haunted by our greatest nostalgic New York painter.
