under "construction"


I mean, really, how ridiculous is this? The first time I walked by this restaurant a few years back, on the corner of Steinway and Northern Boulevard, I didn't think the faux-bricks could look worse. They hadn't started "crumbling" at the time...

peeping tom - shower scene


And what were you expecting exactly? There is a large railroad yard in my neighborhood called, not surprisingly, Sunnyside Yard. You can get a good view of it on the 7 train between the Queensboro Bridge and 33rd Street stops. Here's a closer look at the shower:

I'd like to get more photos of the Yard but unfortunately, the bridges have either metal-wire gates or tall metal panels that block the view. This photo was taken through the small slit between panels. It's possible I can get a better view from the Queens Boulevard crossing (this is from the 39th St. crossing).
