Murals on both sides of 34th Street between 9th and 10th Avenues.

The ever changing City.  What was once just an area where trains parked (Hudson Yards), has been converted
to skyscrapers.  

Murals on the north wall of the Fashion Institution of Technology.  Construction going on in the area.

In Queens:  What was once the buildings used by 5Pointz for it's artwork.  (See
Page LLLL.).  
Even Queens' landscape is changing.
Beauty!

build another high rise.  At right:  The south entrance

continue to house post office.
Murals found on north wall of the Fashion Institute

28th Street:  No area of the City is being spared the
building frenzy.
Remember 5Pointz?  These two photos and the one that follows is what replaced the old building.

Sunrise.  All the white lights are cars on the LIE going west.  
It was a huge parking lot since traffic hardly moving.  
Not too many red lights can be seen going east.

For lunch I had White Cheddar and Potato Soup,
Shrimp and Mushroom Alfredo, a sip of red wine,
and a Duo Chocolate Eclair.  Soup and Alfredo were
delicious, but the Eclair was somewhat dry.
