Sinning on 14th Street
This apartment building, at 340 14th Street, is entirely vacant except for the apartment on the first floor, left. (The building to the left is also entirely vacant). Perhaps the sign in the window gives a clue to why this one unit was salvaged; apparently the tenant's soul was salvaged as well. Per Property Shark, the owner is contractor Henry Azcue, also responsible for the work that finally started on 132 2nd Place. Guess that means it's due for a fixin... eventually. GMAP

That's the same sign as the ones in the passage between the A,C,E and the rest of Times Square. Maybe the tenant is always there instead of at home surrounded by nothing.

Do any of you remember the mosaics of jibberish words that were made out of small pieces of tile and embedded in crosswalks throughout Manhattan? They always had some saying regarding Toynbee.
He's now down in Philly pounding these into the asphalt!!!!

But are you done sinning? ;-)

I will be done sinning, when I am done with life.

At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

Posted by: bayridgegirl at December 23, 2008 12:27 PM

You, squeling like a little girl is a sin!!
Posted by: bayridgegirl at December 23, 2008 12:45 PM

Posted by: bayridgegirl at December 23, 2008 12:45 PM
Oy, where is the Open Thread?
Posted by: cobblehiller at December 23, 2008 12:58 PM
Cause' I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
and I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I sure don’t want to hurt no one

Yes, where is the open thread? I wanted to post that I am not sure I can get through two vacation days without Brownstoner. To prepare, I ordered three books on restoring old houses with one-day shipping.

I finally met someone without sin. I got jealous so I tossed him over the bridge. When he hit the water, he said F you. Then I realized I made a mistake.
Posted by: Iknow at December 23, 2008 1:47 PM
It's a sin Mr. B didn't provide us with an Open Thread today. Let's come up with roles to fill for a Brownstoner production of Sinderella. I think BRG automatically gets the title role and we substitute the glass slippers for glass pumps.

It was 0% - 0% until about 2:03

Steve Miller wrote those lyrics when no one got hurt. 3 people a day are murdered over the drug trade in Mexico (perhaps more).

This is the thanks I get for casting you as the lead? Anyway, I have better things to do than keep score, like playing that cool game Snark just sent the link to!
Posted by: Biff Champion at December 23, 2008 2:24 PM
Snark...only another FOD would know that pet Shop Boys song!!!!
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at December 23, 2008 2:28 PM
My high score on the game is 12...can't seem to improve it.
Posted by: Biff Champion at December 23, 2008 2:30 PM

I don't want to be the lead, I want to be led.

last sin quote.....
and then I'm going to throw a shoe and pretend it's a glass pump and that's some one else's face.

"I haven't been to confession in maybe 20 years."
DIBS, I think you should go to 340 14th Street, ring the bell and confess all your sins to Henry the contractor.

A-HA
We're talking away
I don't know what
I'm to say I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, OK?
(CHORUS)
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a day
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But that's me stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK.
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry
CHORUS
Oh the things that you say
Is it live or
Just to play my worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at December 23, 2008 2:58 PM
YIKES, YIKES, YIKES...My 2:55....major, major typos!!!
I'm sounding like a sinner...dear, God.
