19, 2007 --
LPR
offers some photos, now, with observations later, not likely to be
found on the mega-websites.
Perhaps this is because those websites have about as much interest in the Squeezed
Class as do the usual
suspects in the established media.
Accordingly, LPR clicksters here will find a photo of the Bronx roadway named
for Leonard Jerome, maternal grandfather of Winston Churchill because this
photo indirectly led to a seatbelt summons.

LPR photo shows the tree-lined view down Jerome Avenue near
Yankee Stadium …
|
To
get the photos of a Bronx tree getting sawed down, LPR double-parked
in a wide part of Johnson Avenue in The Bronx.

|
And
the City of New York thanked LPR for its interest in the tree removal
with a $115 summons, given, perhaps, by the agents who drive about
in this car looking for vehicles to ticket, while perhaps enjoying
a PVB license to...double park. Please note, too, the City of New York "hospitality
certificate "on the window of this touring bus from Massachusets, parked
near Battery Park.

George
Noory -- could it be possible that the sage counsel found in in The
Federalist Papers is ignored because today's political and economic
insiders
believe our Founders were visitors?
Broadway Show League
Old Timers Day will be celebrated July 28, in Central Park. Please follow
this link to the league's site for details.
LPR here offers images of Atlantic Theater Company in a pre-game huddle, a

A 45th Reunion
LPR was on the Brandeis University campus, weekend before last, for his 45th
class reunion. More on this
next week.
For present purpose, LPR would simply note that Supreme Court Justice Louis
Dembitz Brandeis seems to be going out for a football pass in his sculptured
image on the campus that carries his name.

Darryl Strawberry
LPR got the image of a smiling Darryl Strawberry at a ceremony calling attention
to the to the re-opening of
the Bronx Paradise movie house, now called Utopia Paradise. More on this remarkable
symbol of the rival of The Bronx next week, too.

Penny Marshall
LPR spotted Ms. Marshall outside Tavern on the Green, in Central Park, June
7.
Only a few weeks ago, LPR carried an image of the jacket indicating that this
native Bronx-ite was a strong Yankee fan.

 |
From
the LPR Archive -- This photo of Penny Marshall (Bronx Bombers
jacket) was taken Wed evening -- May 23. LPR spotted
Ms, Marshall hugging Jason Giambi after the game. (Alas,
LPR's camera did not apparently.)
|
On seeing her June 7,
LPR wanted to inform Ms. Marshall that her image was being seen on LPR.
LPR was not permitted to approach Ms. Marshall, outside Tavern on the Green,
and accordingly just shouted the news to her.
Evening at Lincoln Center
LPR happened to be at Lincoln Center, recently, the evening of a fund-raiser
for the New York City ballet.
LPR noticed that a crowd was convivializing on the balcony, with a young woman
in strapless white evening dress just below.

Accordingly, LPR pressed the shutter.
Continued disappointments …
Road conditions in NYC, and the continued economic assaults on motorists from
the aggrandizing class.
 |
A
hole in the Bronx …
|
Perhaps
someone will yet protest the squeeze on motorists on grounds that it
is taking advantage of undocumented day laborers, in the US of A..
Still -- don't forget the insight of Mark Twain …
