ok so considering im decently sure a good chunk of the f1 drivers dont actually like driving road cars on roads (fair) i propose a new grand prix to determine the real Best Driver.

behold. the rush hour grand prix.

1 lap. at rush hour on a friday night. all the usual normal commuters and terrible drivers are still on the road along with all the drivers. in the rain. everyone drives a car of their choice. they have to count out all their tolls using change, no one gets ez pass. and you get disqualified if you veer from the instructions (no wrong turns!)

and where does this take place?

thats right.

new jersey. (and new york city) (but mostly new jersey)

here is the proposed track:

we start and end on route 22 right outside the staples. a terrible awful road that would cause harm to any driver, especially european ones. route 22 is so terrible because there is a long stretch that has a center median with shops in it, so theres shops on the right the left and in the center with u turns every 500 feet.

they go east on 22 towards us route 1 and 9 and, thats right, newark liberty international airport. here they have to do a loop around all of the departure terminals before exiting and heading towards jersey city on route 78.

they take route 78 through the holland tunnel, which is a hilarious tunnel to go through as you can literally blink and miss the signs because theyre so small.

upon arriving in new york city they will head towards the canal street station, doing an awful little loopy loop to take hudson street to 8th avenue. new york will prove a challenge for many of them because every other street and avenue there is pretty much a one way in the opposite way.

theyre going to turn right on 23rd street and take it three blocks towards the flatiron building on fifth avenue before doing another turn around and heading back up sixth avenue

here theyre going to turn left on 40th street, then right on 7th avenue then immediately right again on 41st street and then back to 6th avenue which they'll take all the way to the bottom of central park. here they'll turn left onto 59th street then go around columbus circle, exiting on broadway and then going right onto 57th street, which they'll then take down to 11th avenue, then after. few blocks cut over to the west side highway (12 avenue) and then they'll get off at 40th street and enter, you guessed it, the lincoln tunnel.

they'll exit the lincoln and get onto route 3 which they'll take down to route 120 and then they'll do a single doughnut in the parking lot at the american dream mall (a terrible place) before getting onto, you guessed it! 95!! they'll take 95 (devil highway) to 78 to the garden state parkway before getting back on route 22, doing a quick hairpin turn at one the first u turn and then end up straight back where they started. outside the staples.

i think maybe 3 people would finish the whole thing. logan sargeant, being the only american, would come in first. fernando alonso takes second and valtteri bottas takes third.

Brightliners at Rockefeller by amtraknortheast1 Via Flickr: MTA New York City Subway Budd R32 3894 pauses briefly at 47-50 Streets-Rockefeller Center. After roughly 56 years of service (the transit museum will tell you 58 as the final run is occurring in 2022), the Budd R32 “Brightliners” are finally receiving a sendoff following their initial retirement from passenger operations in October 2020. Operating as a D train, the farewell train will continue down a branch of the IND 6th Avenue Line that will lead it to 7th Avenue station on 53rd Street before finally merging with the IND 8th Avenue line at 59th Street-Columbus Circle. 3894 displays a wreath on its front end, doubling as a sort of holiday special. This is the 2nd of 4 sundays of retirement runs, with the final run occurring Sunday, January 9, 2022 on the Q between Brighton Beach and 96th Street.

It’s a shame.

If I go back to NYC, now I’ll have nothing to wash my clothes against.

"Out - Inside"

On Seeing: A Journal - #237  

1/9/18

Part 1 INSIDE (next week’s Journal: Part 2 OUTSIDE)

When out of the studio, I carry a camera. I’ve reserved this journal (“INSIDE"), and next week’s (“OUTSIDE”) for this time of year to show some of my favorite “odds and ends” found during walks in NYC, things that I saw and then composed and captured. There is so much pleasure seeing the world and savoring the images that abound.

In next week’s Journal, I write about making images outside.  

INSIDE in New York City

SUBWAYS

Subway stations may all look alike but, in fact, each one is different. They are built mostly for their function and not often in for aesthetics. But if one looks -- really looks -- there is visual gold.

MUSEUMS

 Morgan Library

Museum of Natural History — an amazing place where one could spend a month photographing and still not see everything.

Museum of Arts and Design at Columbus Circle, Midtown

Guggenheim Museum: Every time I’m there, I make this image…and it is always new.

A glass exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)

STORES

THEATERS

New York State Theater at Lincoln Center

And, also from inside:

Through the window at the Time Warner Center, Columbus Circle and 59th Street.

Despite rain, snow, sleet, freezing cold, or sweltering summers, there is so much to explore in the comfort of New York’s infinitely varied “inside" spaces.

Get an unprecedented inside look inside the life, work and process of artist Sol LeWitt with the new Sol LeWitt App. Stemming from a collaboration between the Sol LeWitt Estate and Microsoft, the new app weaves together rich storytelling and never-before-seen footage so people can see LeWitt’s process come to life, virtually tour his studio, and magically unlock a trove of information by using AI to scan his wall drawings. His new app captures the spirit of his legacy, given that he was a proponent of making art available to everyone.

The New Yorker in me gets so fussy about Banana Fish sometimes. Every time I rewatch episode 13, I think about the fact that Eiji was planning on running from 59th street Columbus Circle to East Broadway, as if he couldn't just take ANY of the trains there and transfer to the F. Dude would've passed out from running that far. At least get a cab!

Then, in episode 24, I'm not sure where Ash was running, because if he just left the library near Bryant Park, the closest airports would be JFK or La Guardia, both of which are in...Queens. If you're gonna update the show to modern times, let him get an Uber, please 😑

Also, if you're writing a fic in which a character is getting a cab to Ash's library, saying "take me to the library" doesn't help, because Manhattan alone has 39 New York Public Library locations. The driver will be like "uh...can you narrow that down"

On the flip side, they did an amazing job capturing the city. I could smell the grime, asbestos, and rat sweat in the East Broadway station scene

BANANA FISH - Unofficial Locations Guide: Around Ash & Eiji’s 59th St. Apartment Part 2

B Spot: Columbus Circle

Episode 11: Where Max saw Ash off, presumably after checking apartments after their meal at the Oyster Bar. The entrance to the Columbus Circle subway station located inside the circle and across the crosswalk from the Lincoln Performing Arts Center.

C Spot: Premier Deli

Episode 17: Where Ash felt Blanca a lurkin'. On the corner of 7th Ave & 55th St.

NOTE: In the anime, there’s a donut shop across the street where Bones and Kong were buying donuts. This shop is NOT there in real life! (what’s actually in the spot it should have been is the cafe attached to the Wellington Hotel)

While not an exact match, the donut shop featured in the anime may have been modeled after the Doughnut Plant. There’s no outside counter window, but the logos are very similar! There’s two in NYC and this one’s the one on Grant Street:

D Spot: Carnegie Hall

Episode 19: Where Golzine and Ash attended a concert while Ash was captive. Max and Ibe spot them on TV.

Broadway (No. 5)

Broadway once was a two-way street for its entire length. The present status, in which it runs one-way southbound south of Columbus Circle (59th Street), came about in several stages. On June 6, 1954, Seventh Avenue became southbound and Eighth Avenue became northbound south of Broadway. None of Broadway became one-way, but the increased southbound traffic between Columbus Circle (Eighth Avenue) and Times Square (Seventh Avenue) caused the city to re-stripe that section of Broadway for four southbound and two northbound lanes. Broadway became one-way from Columbus Circle south to Herald Square (34th Street) on March 10, 1957, in conjunction with Sixth Avenue becoming one-way from Herald Square north to 59th Street and Seventh Avenue becoming one-way from 59th Street south to Times Square (where it crosses Broadway). On June 3, 1962, Broadway became one-way south of Canal Street, with Trinity Place and Church Street carrying northbound traffic. 

Another change was made on November 10, 1963, when Broadway became one-way southbound from Herald Square to Madison Square (23rd Street) and Union Square (14th Street) to Canal Street, and two routes – Sixth Avenue south of Herald Square and Centre Street, Lafayette Street, and Fourth Avenue south of Union Square – became one-way northbound. Finally, at the same time as Madison Avenue became one-way northbound and Fifth Avenue became one-way southbound, Broadway was made one-way southbound between Madison Square (where Fifth Avenue crosses) and Union Square on January 14, 1966, completing its conversion south of Columbus Circle. 

In 2001, a one-block section of Broadway between 72nd Street and 73rd Street at Verdi Square was reconfigured. Its easternmost lanes, which formerly hosted northbound traffic, were turned into a public park when a new subway entrance for the 72nd Street  station was built in the exact location of these lanes. Northbound traffic on Broadway is now channeled onto Amsterdam Avenue to 73rd Street, makes a left turn on the three-lane 73rd Street, and then a right turn on Broadway shortly afterward.

In August 2008, two traffic lanes from 42nd to 35th Streets were taken out of service and converted to public plazas. Additionally, bike lanes were added on Broadway from 42nd Street down to Union Square. 

In 1885, the Broadway commercial district was overrun with telephone, telegraph, and electrical lines. This view was north from Cortlandt and 

Since May 2009, the portions of Broadway through Duffy Square, Times Square, and Herald Square have been closed entirely to automobile traffic, except for cross traffic on the Streets and Avenues, as part of a traffic and pedestrianization experiment, with the pavement reserved exclusively for walkers, cyclists, and those lounging in temporary seating placed by the city. The city decided that the experiment was successful and decided to make the change permanent in February 2010. Though the anticipated benefits to traffic flow were not as large as hoped, pedestrian injuries dropped dramatically and foot traffic increased in the designated areas; the project was popular with both residents and businesses. The current portions converted into pedestrian plazas are between West 47th Street and West 42nd Street within Times and Duffy Squares, and between West 35th Street and West 33rd Street in the Herald Square area. Additionally, portions of Broadway in the Madison Square and Union Square have been dramatically narrowed, allowing ample pedestrian plazas to exist along the side of the road.

In May 2013, the NYCDOT decided to redesign Broadway between 35th and 42nd Streets for the second time in five years, owing to poor connections between pedestrian plazas and decreased vehicular traffic. With the new redesign, the bike lane is now on the right side of the street; it was formerly on the left side adjacent to the pedestrian plazas, causing conflicts between pedestrian and bicycle traffic. 

In spring 2017,  as part of a capital reconstruction of Worth Square, Broadway between 24th and 25th Street was converted to a "shared street" where through vehicles are banned and delivery vehicles are restricted to 5 miles per hour (8.0 km/h). Delivery vehicles go northbound from Fifth Avenue to 25th Street for that one block, reversing the direction of traffic and preventing vehicles from going south on Broadway south of 25th Street. The capital project expands on a 2008 initiative where part of the intersection of Broadway and Fifth Avenue was repurposed into a public plaza, simplifying that intersection. As part of the 2017 project, Worth Square was expanded, converting the adjoining block of Broadway into a "shared street."
