No One on Balconies

[Click on the photograph to enlarge it and for additional commentary]

I hate balconies, particularly when they are added to classic brick buildings.  The developers will tell you that apartments and condos must have balconies to make them attractive,  Yet, aside from storing grills on them, nobody seems to use them.  Look closely at this photograph.  It is a beautiful Saturday afternoon in August.  Not a single person is on any of the balconies.
