Friday Night Twilight Walk

  • Post author:

Slow, soft summer sunset.  A stretch limo that seems to go on forever turns left onto 45th Street obstructing traffic in both directions with teenage boys hanging out the windows screaming their heads off.  Prom Night I can only assume?  Too startled to get a photo.

Turning south down 1st Ave.  Some hard, new little pears are sprouting.

And Emily has finally gotten her Ph.D.!

More teenagers dressed in formal-wear giggling in front of someone’s house.  No photo, to protect the innocent.

Swing back onto 45th Street.  Two enormous guys in matching black Adidas track suits standing outside Sea Monster Lounge.  Too intimidating for a photo.

A line out the door of Fainting Goat Gelato for a change:

Lots more couples, people having cigarettes than usual.  Darkness falls.  A guy driving a Jeep confidently down 45th Street with the lights off.

    Fainting Goat had fairly lengthy lines all 3 times I walked by this past weekend.  Good for them!

    I like this idea of twilight observations in the Hood. Can’t blame you for skipping taking pictures of the Sea Monster patrons.
