Brandie Bailey – Ghost Bike Memorial
Sunday, June 4th, 2006
Houston and Essex Streets, Lower East Side, Manhattan.
I often pass this Ghost Bike memorial for Brandie Bailey a young woman killed while riding her bike at this intersection on May 8, 2005. It is touching how her friends constantly maintain it with flowers, notes and photos. But it is even more touching how the bike has remained unchained and unmolested for so long.

The Sun – It Shines for All

Clock on the old Sun Building at Broadway and Chambers Streets in Manhattan. Though it appropriated the name and slogan, the current newspaper of that name has nothing to do with this paper. The Sun is perhaps most famous for The Great Moon Hoax. In 1835 batlike winged humanoids and such were describe as living on the Moon. The Sun went out of business in 1950.
