Loving these. I’m often captivated by your images. What camera are you using?

Your most flabbergasting and funniest post yet!

I’ve always been curious about coop city but have never been so thank you.

Do we have any of Woodys chili recipes?

What I wouldn’t give to ride that mule-go-round!

Loved the police blotter too.

But no traffic cones! :(

Thanks Anne! I have to believe, however, you were never very good at Where’s Waldo. A cursory glance uncovered 11 and 1/2 traffic cones …

What? Okay...

Alright I just went through again and found eight. I should ALWAYS read "The Neighborhoods" on big desktop screen rather than my phone so I don't miss traffic cone action!

Definitely 11 1/2 and I'm not even counting the ones in the aerial shots. To be honest, when I saw your comment I was proud of myself for avoiding them for once, but further inspection revealed that traffic cones are indeed the cockroaches of the urban landscape.

Once again, I have learned about new-to-me aspects of the history of New York City thanks to you.

Thank for following along David! Pretty much everything is new to me too - there are a lot of rabbit holes!
