MISCELLANY


Hello and welcome to this edition of miscellany. This manipulated photograph by our good friend Garth Justice is entitled "The Lantern."

A screen shot from The Tick, showing the title character holding onto a bus for dear life so that the passengers have enough time to scramble off.  (Their bus has crashed through the barrier on Tudor City Bridge and hovers 50 feet in the air above 42nd Street.) More on this, here

In our opinion, the best use of special effects in Tudor City to date. Streaming on Amazon Prime.

42nd Street, around 1937. You can actually make out the Tudor City sign in the distance.

Finally, there is a graffiti problem once again, with No. 45, No. 25 and the Tudor City Bridge all tagged by the same person, "Zoot." Though none of these tags can be seen when you walk down Tudor City Place, they are there. Facing a New York City icon, the Secretariat of the United Nations, to boot.

No. 45
 
No. 25
