Making Your Way

Navigating through the lunchtime shoppers and throngs of pedestrians on 6th Avenue near Herald Square and Macy's.

Headless Homeless

It sucks to be homeless because you have to sleep in a doorway near Macy's, but I think it sucks worse to lose your head.

Post No Bills

Did you ever wonder how all of those movie posters get plastered up all over the city? I found out how this happens on Friday night around midnight. It only takes one guy with a combination large scraper/mop and a bucket of glue to do the trick.

Wild posting is one of those totally underground activities that is somehow not prosecuted by the city. I can't be sure, but I think it's run by some illegal organizations. They probably pay off the cops. Nevertheless, it seems to function really well because as soon as a construction site goes up these posters miraculously appear covering every available inch of plywood a couple of days later.

Friday night was so hot out. This guy worked up so much sweat while he worked that you can see his t-shirt is soaked. You would be surprised how quickly these posters are put up. It only takes a minute or two. But I was even more surprised to see that he managed to clean the site, mop a ton of glue all over the wall and then put up a couple of those enormous Fast and Furious DVD posters while carrying on a cell phone conversation with a phone that was somehow cradled under his neck the whole time.

Adult Books

There are plenty of these types of stores surrounding Times Square, they just aren't in Times Square. Disney cleaned up the area, but they can't clean up the entire city.

Kung Fu. Huh? Not sure exactly what that is but this could be where David Carradine did his shopping when he was in the Big Apple. For all the ladies -- I am sure this is exactly the quality kind of place you would want to shop for your lingerie. If you're lucky they'll be having a big sale on a few select items from La Perla or Vannina Vesperini.
