Buildings Around The City
Roxi and I spent the majority of the past two days doing what I love in a big city: taking pictures of really cool buildings. We made trips into Midtown on Monday and Tuesday giving me a great opportunity to get pictures of several of New York's most famous landmarks.
Great photos Wes and Roxi! The pictures of the Flat Iron Building triggered a recollection of "23 Skidoo" and the origin of this phrase as told by our tour guide as we rode through Manhattan in the topless bus, although I later learned that many other places claim credit for this phrase. I think I need to look that one up in Uncle Mit’s Dictionary of Americanisms!
