Wells Fargo comes to New York City and Wachovia Leaves.

Gah! I hate Wells Fargo. They were my first bank when I moved to LA. I left them to go to a credit union which I later left when I quit a job. Gave Wells Fargo a second chance after that only to leave them again for Union Bank of California which I finally left when I moved to NYC. So what do you think? Third time's the charm? ;P

I took this walking up Broadway at 70th St on 2/28/11.

Saw this on the wall of the tunnel that leads from Broadway to the 191st stop of the 1 Train.

Yep, that's a guy in a motorcycle jacket winding yarn into a ball on the subway

He had a whole bag of different colored yarn.

Currently: in the lobby of the Empire State Building waiting for my buddy, Stew, to meet me

He works up stairs. This lobby is gorgeous! I've been here before (years ago) but I don't remember it being like this at all.

Huge Lego Buildings pics taken on my last trip to Toys R Us in Times Square (2/4/11)

These Lego buildings are gorgeous. I just wish they'd ID them because, while they're all NYC buildings, some I recognize but simply don't know the names of. :/

2 after-the-fact Shots of the Pro-Egypt rally in Times Square on Feb 4, 2011

After work that day I wandered up to TS to discover the post-rally clean-up being finished up. Metal fences unlinked and clumped together, ready to be loaded onto the back of a truck and a few people crowded around another truck that served as the focal point of the rally. Check out the dude wearing the Egyptian flag as a cape. Well done, sir! Nothing says "I love my country!" like wearing its flag like a piece of clothing.  Geh...

Pics from Chicago (the Musical)'s Fan Day 2011

Back in January Chicago did a show for Facebook fans only. It was fun to see such a classic musical for free.  Thanks, Chicago!

Found: stranded at the 191st 1 Train platform (pics)

Was waiting for the 1 Train back on January 29, 2011 and saw these poor balloons. They looked so sad.  BTW, the 4th pic in this series is not at 191st, it's someplace in midtown, but it's the only recent subway shot I've taken recently (I took it the day after the other news) so it's getting lumped in.
