****** New York City Art! ******

The NY Public Library @ 42 'nd. St. & Fifth Aves. I studied a lot in the DeWitt Clinton Free Reading Room, on the left. My grandfather did too, when working. Quiet, big chairs, many resources. The library has big budget problems. People are just using the free WiFi, and not taking as many books out. The 'stacks' in the back, costs a fortune. So, the cost of maintaining such a huge, architectural behometh is problematic. The president of the library, Anthony Marx, said in the NY Times, the main circulation branch across the street @ 40'th. St. & Fifth Ave., would be considered as a real estate sale. Shame. The Donnell Branch on 53'rd. St. closed.

A lot of nice, original, New Yorker magazine cel prints, on the walls near the bathrooms on the third floor. The Map Room was great too.

Hunter College. This is the original Hunter College, which, at the time, was all women. Thomas Hunter Hall. I worked on the third floor. All the college clubs are on the first floor !!!

Washington Square Park. Greenwich Village, one of my favorite places in New York. Small, quaint shops, coffee shops, restaurants, shopping. The eastern part of the Village is called 'NoLiTa.' Northern Little Italy. Everyone wants to bein the Village. NYU gets bigger and bigger.

The original garage, and opening sequence to the TV show TAXI. West 10'th. St & 7'th. Ave. So.

The Citicorp Building @ 53'rd. St. & Lexington Ave. Memorial Sloan Kettering office across the street !!
They closed the Barnes and Nobles years ago in the atrium. Tsk. Opening sequence to the TV show TAXI?

Park Ave., looking south in the 60's. Between Hunter College, Memorial Sloan-Kettering, and NY Presbyterian/Weill Cornell, I have been on the Upper East Side a lot, for close to 20 years !!!
