MAY 14, 2006
--
Usually,
when parked cars are not seen on side streets, the indication
is that a movie or TV program is on location. May 18, LPR
noticed that "The Nanny Diaries," -- cast including
Scarlett Johansson and Alicia Keys -- was shooting on 83rd
Street, between Lexington Avenue and Park Avenue (just around the corner from
GR photo shop -- where I bring my rolls of film in NYC to be developed).

Two days later,
on West 47th Street LPR noticed the absence of cars on the street,
between Ninth and Tenth Avenues.
No parking ban on the street was apparent to LPR -- at least on one side of
the street.
In the distance the street fair on Ninth Avenue is in progress. On that --
street fairs and cars do not mix -- the fairs winning out every time.

Heading back
east on 46th Street, LPR took a quick photo of the Ninth Avenue
street fair -- noticing only when the print was developed that
among the pedestrians was a person with a plastic bag filled
with empty aluminum cans -- the current version of selling apples
during the Great Depression, perhaps. Some people might point
to those cans as sign that soda sales indicate a thriving economy
--
until the soda- ban movement gathers steam, of course.
