Finally, we got to the Museum of the City of New York, where there was no line.


In the background you can see tourists photographing the Guggenheim Museum with their phones. We had walked across the park to the Metropolitan but found the line going down the steps and up 2 blocks to 84th Street so we walked up the Guggenheim where we found a similar scene. We trudged on.




Developers are putting up hideous new skyscrapers along the South end of the park, supported to a great extent, by anonymous foreigners who are laundering, or otherwise caching money in NY real estate. These shadow-throwing structures often remain unoccupied and are owned by the innermost company of a series of shell companies. May they fade away as they appear to here.


Went for a family walk in the cold and blowing snow, through the park to the Museum. Several landscapes and snowscapes to come.
