Spotted In Long Island City: Something Neat
Today, dear readers, I could not resist stepping away from the keyboard and stepping out into the industrial hinterlands of southwestern Queens. This is something I have been meaning to do for sometime as I always find something interesting and unexpected. This morning was no different.
It was at the entrance of the footbridge under the Queens Midtown Expressway that I stumbled upon a garden.
The Footbridge Garden, to be precise.
Here are some marigolds.
As I continued exploring I quickly learned I was not alone. This bee was enjoying a little breakfast…
and it would appear this urban oasis is presided over by a custodian of the four-legged variety.
Make that a very well fed custodian of the four-legged variety! Those are some damned nice dishes. I wonder if he (she?) got them at Ikea?

Detritus.
Hopelessness.

Bunny ears affixed with duct tape. This taps into an electrical circuit serving the aforementioned sign.*
You know the MTA has hit hard times when they can no longer afford cable.

*Seriously, WTF is up with this? You should go and see this set up for yourself. It’s amazing albeit in an abject, slumlord kind of way.

Long Island City Photo Du Jour: Baracked?
The Mister and I passed this tonight while walking to La Vuelta* for dinner. I say it’s Barack Obama. He says it isn’t. Draw your own conclusions.
