Around Chinatown - Feb. 29, 2008

I live in Chinatown. And I work 3 blocks away, in Chinatown.

Chinatown figures quite heavily into my everyday life.

A few scenes, then, from the prior week...

When I woke up one Wednesday, this is what I saw out my window. Chinatown provides poetry in the most mundane.

I've walked past this display window on the Bowery at least 300 times. Why this night I chose to notice this fantastical creation - a brightly-lit-color-chameleon

-giant-disco ball - beckoning a sleeping Chinatown to revelry, is a mystery to me.

Snow mutes everything. February has been mercifully warm. A few hours later turned this pretty dusting into grayish slush.
