Bellevue

Monday, June 13th, 2005
Bellevue, at the corner of 29th and First. And though the signs outside the building are remarkably uninformative, according to NY Songlines, this bleak building is The Children’s Center.

Correction: this is actually between 30th and 29th Street. And according to NY Songlines it is: “Bellevue Men’s Shelter – Block 9400 E 30th): Also known as the 30th Street Shelter, this Victorian pile houses elderly and mentally ill homeless men.”

This is actually what I thought it was. I originally took the photo because the paintings had the look of something done by a mental patient. Open up the larger version and look into the disturbing eyes of the koala. But because I misremembered the cross street, I went with my online research. Cripes!
