over StuyTown buildings
History
The buildings south of 20th Street are known as Stuyvesant Town, or "Stuy Town". They were named after Peter Stuyvesant, the last director-general of the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam, whose farm occupied the site in the 17th century. Read more. There is a history of segregation and decades of sale and resale with complex consequences lawsuits and defaults. Real estate shenanigans galore.

This Woman Visits the Blessed Mary statue on the plaza of Epiphany Church (second Avenue at 22nd Street)
daily-at least it is safe to presume, since when I pass at that hour any day, she is always there, standing silently for several minutes with her hands folded in prayer, then she turning and quickly gone. I didn't want her to know I was snapping the shot. I'd been wanting to for months.
Incident
8 p.m.
Corner of 21st Street at Second Avenue.
Ambulance taking a woman to the hospital
apparently against her will.

The Last Sunset of Summer
Looking West at 21st Street
"Summer's end's around the bend just flyin'
The swimmin' suits are on the line just dryin'
I'll meet you there for our conversation
I hope I didn't ruin your whole vacation
Well you never know how far from home you're feelin'
Until you've watched the shadows cross the ceilin'
Well I don't know, but I can see it snowin'
In your car the windows are wide open
Just come on home
Come on home
No you don't have to
Be alone
Just come on home
Valentines break hearts and minds at random
That ol' Easter egg ain't got a leg to stand on
Well I can see that you can't win for tryin'
And New Year's Eve is bound to leave you cryin'
Come on home
Come on home
No you don't have to
Be alone
Just come on home
The moon and stars hang out in bars just talkin'
I still love that picture of us walkin'
Just like that ol' house we thought was haunted
Summer's end came faster than we wanted
Come on home
Come on home
No you don't have to
Be alone
Come on home
Come on home
You don’t have to
Be alone
Just come on home"

I love how your posts capture life...
I always end up feeling as if I've walked along with you!
I just found some old letters regarding my birth-father and one of the addresses he lived at was 226 West 4th St. NY Interesting to see where he had lived and even found a pic of him out front of the place. Time marches on.
