This is really fantastic, and obviously reflects a great deal of work I learned a lot, thank you.

Thanks for another brilliant exploration of QBBSM (catchy)! Have you visited the old Triborough Bridge Authority building on the island? It makes an appearance in Motherless Brooklyn, though the engraved sign above its door was CGIed to 'Borough' Bridge Authority, where 'Moses Randolph' worked.

I knew it was destined to go viral! Thanks Lukas! I believe the picture of the beekeepers is from the roof of that building. Didn’t know about the Motherless Brooklyn connection. I read the book but not the movie. Do you recommend it?

Nice photos. Too bad the kids can't play soccer on Randall's Island anymore after Mayor Adams houses 1,000 illegal immigrants on the fields. Escape from New York is becoming real: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/escapefromnewyork
