As I walked along 126th Street, I noticed that the north and south sides of the street were very different, at least on the first few blocks. This is the south side.

And below is the north side.

We saw this building from Broadway back in February.

This day in May was brilliant. The sky was that blue and the trees were that green. There was an expansive lawn around the tall building, but no people were taking advantage of it. On the south side, however, men sat around in chairs on the sidewalk. They wouldn't let me take pictures. Uhn, uhn, they said, shaking their heads.
