Wednesday

What with the looming move to Pittsburgh coming up in just one week, and with Thanksgiving and everything else going on at the moment, a humble narrator is forced into taking a bit of a break this week. Single images will be greeting you, thereby.
Hopefully – next week, “normal” posts will return, but there’s a possibility that during the first week of December you very well might still be seeing single images here. As mentioned – a lot of balls are in the air and are being actively juggled at the moment. At any rate, I’ll definitely be posting about NYC and Newtown Creek through the end of the year, and possibly a couple of weeks into the new one. I’ve really been all over hill and dale, and the blasted heaths and concrete devastations, in the last month. Everybody is asking, so – yes, I plan on continuing to post here at Newtown Pentacle and no – I’m not changing the name. Things will transition over to Pittsburgh, and I’m hoping that y’all will stick with me as I learn about and experience my new home. It’s an extremely interesting place.
Pictured above is the Roosevelt Island Tram and Queensboro Bridge – seriously, one of the best “cheap thrills” you can have these days is a ride on the tram. When you get to Roosevelt Island, visit the historical society kiosk nearby the station. You’ll see the remains of the missing lamp post of the Queensboro Bridge, which I discovered one day on the LIC and Sunnyside border. Roosevelt Island Historical Society did the heavy lifting of actually saving the thing, but hey!
