A great little bodega, the 100th Street Candy Store, wedged in between two much larger buildings on West 100th Street btw. Manhattan Ave and CPW: They’ve got it all, including “lotery tickets and things!” I really like signs with colored lights around the border. -SCOUT

Looks like the end of a steel cable from a suspension bridge or elevator that has been melted. Could it be from World Trade Center?
Rubin Art Museum – Statue of buddha
my first thought was a statue, but I went to the Met. But I can’t figure out of what because the photo creeps me out! Eeps.
sorry meant to say “…but I went to the Met (not the Rubin)”
I’ll guess Takashimaya.

The Statue of Liberty’s underarm hair? (she IS French)
I live in the south, but it is copper wire. Looks like a cable that has weathered outside for sometime.
