Yep, I returned to Madison, Wisconsin this weekend for a wedding. It was too beautiful Sunday to spend the afternoon driving back to Chicago, so here are my thoughts and images from my on walk around the city and the campus. Time Trippin’.
9/11
On September 11, 2023, I spent a good portion of my day at the 9/11 Memorial Site in New York City and in the streets surrounding the site. Here are my observations about and images from my experience.
Small's
I spent last Sunday afternoon at Small’s Jazz Club in New York City at a 2.5 hour jam session. No admission charge. Here are my thoughts about and images from my experience on a rainy Sunday afternoon.
The Walk
Experiencing New York City in all its glory on a 10-mile walk. Punk rock, Cage basketball, Skateboards, Speed Chess, Jazz Musicians, the Barbie Cafe, 9/11 Memorial, Playing in the Fountain, and Assorted Other Stuff. Here are my thoughts about and images from the day’s walk
On the Vanguard
I spent four mornings checking out the WGA, SAG, AFTRA strike in New York City this week. It was then off to an afternoon of tea and cake. Here are my thoughts about and images from the writers’ and actors’ strike.
Peruvian Protest
While headed north from the Lower East Side, I found myself in New York City’s Union Square today, where about 25 demonstrators were holding a rally in support of Peruvian President Pedro Castillo Terrones, who was ousted from office and imprisoned during a December 7, 2022 coup. Here are my thoughts about and images from this demonstration.
Excavating the Present
I spent several days in New York City this past week; visiting the Empire State Building for the first time. Here are my thought about and images from the top of that art deco icon, as well as from my walks at street level.
