New York, New York…
Posted by: John McCrarey @ 6:30 pm | Filed under: Life in these United States    

Ok, I finally got around to getting my photos from New York City together…nothing you haven’t seen in postcards before, but these just scream “I was there!”

Actually, I have been to New York several times, but never got all that touristy like this time. I guess I just felt a lot more confident walking the streets after spending the past few months in an even bigger city….Seoul.

So here we go (I hope my bandwidth can take it, but then I have alienated most of my readers by a proven combination of infrequent posts and boring ones like this)….

Let’s start in Central Park, an amazing greenway amid the urban sprawl:

You can’t really see them in this pic, but this pathway is lined with the statues of the great writers in Western literature….

I also had a little sax in the park….

And then wandered over to Strawberry Fields and checkout the John Lennon shrine….

And then it was on to Times Square. Actually, I stayed in a great hotel, the Marriott Marquis, which is right in the middle of Times Square on Broadway….

Samsung is everywhere, even the billboards of New York…

Good Morning America studio. You can’t of course get the full effect of Times Square without seeing it at night. You won’t see that here though. They have turned entire buildings into lighted billboards, don’t know how exactly…maybe a projector. You will just have to go see for yourself….

Hmmm, none of my TS images are posting….I’ll be back when I figure out why…..

A really nice slice of American Pie from the Ford Motor Company. Cindy Sheehan notwithstanding, THIS is how the vast majority of Americans feel.

And we can never say thank you too much.
