This is either Bed-Stuy or Fort Greene, Brooklyn

TriBeCa

Greenwich Village

If at first a tourist doesn't succeed, try try again. But how about letting the traffic get by before you try to park next time?

Voting.... ............... ..........

So my friend had the good fortune to actually work the voting center in his neighborhood. 

"Busy?" I ask

"Not really."

In fact I even came by and walked in on the event to see it emptier than an elementary school prom. Hmmm is that what happened? Did they schedule an elementary school prom there, and it scared away the voters?

Anyway I couldn't vote because I was a registered Green party member. I did my research a whole day in advance for who I'd vote for in the green party, but no website nor any media could inform me of when I was supposed to vote for my chosen candidate???? 

That really agitates me to no end!

I also made a decision on who I'd have voted for if I was a registered Democrat, but it really made no difference since I wasn't allowed my own choice.

I know, I know there is this other party called the Republicans, but veteran New Yorkers for the most part, acknowledge them as a spawn of Satan. New York City is so Democratic......

How Democratic is it?

New York City is so Democratic that the Republican vote counter name tags were placed on Democrats  just to make the voting center look more unbiased. Hey that's the best they could do, because Republicans weren't working the polls.

There are some pockets of the city that are Republican, but they are few and far between.

World Financial Center

West Midtown

A common surge drill was underway at Penn Station. A random place is selected for 20 or more squad cars. sometimes they all proceed to the locations in one herd, and sometimes they arrive sporadically, taking attendance like a bunch of elementary school boys. This morning attendance was big. The above picture is 8th Avenue from 33rd to 34th Streets, but 31st to 33rd was lined with cop cars too.

I've been a little behind, 

but this is the last of the pictures from last year.

I highly recommend clicking on each picture to get a larger window

Chelsea 

The party people had come and gone in Chelsea and elsewhere. 

As a man cleans the curb for coming day's business.

Upper East Side

There is a time in the morning where dawn gives 

faint enough light to see our streets, yet the 

lights from inside buildings still poke through.

Gramercy

Chelsea

Somehow these two got into an accident strong enough 

to deploy the airbags. Apparently there are over 

5,000 doctors in NYC if you have healthcare.

42nd Street pedestrian survey east bound:

I lost my marbles:

1010 Wins

"A Quinnipiac University poll released earlier this month showed 

that 58 percent of New York City voters opposed Bloomberg's congestion pricing plan, with 37 percent supporting it and the rest undecided. 

But 60 percent said they would support the proposal if it generated money to improve mass transportation, with 37 percent opposing."

No Folks, you can't make this shit up. Is it just me of does it feel like I'm trapped in an episode of a satirical cartoon?
