Almost Famous
They’ve started on the foundation for whatever is going to be built on this lot on Suffolk and East Houston Streets. The building next-door contains a day-care center. A while back, after they started digging around the foundation, it was briefly declared unsafe. But then they build a massive steel buttress that apparently keeps the building from collapsing.

I’ve been seeing these top-hatted graffiti figures around. It is tagged ‘Almost Famous.’

I saw the biker swooping around from my right, I snapped to get him in the foreground, and add scale and action to an otherwise boring shot.

Meow Mix Closes

Thursday, July 22nd, 2004

Meow Mix, the famous Lower East Side girl bar, is closed. The sign on the fire escape indicates that the building is for sale. I was only in there once, seeing a friend’s band. But another friend used to live in the apartment right above the bar. Her floor would pulsate with the music. I don’t know how she stood it. More on the closing and stories about Meow Mix in City Rag.
