Grove Court might be one of the most famous spots in the West Village but did you know that this used to be a terrible place to live? #nyc #nychistory #manhattan #westvillage

Happy #openingday to those who celebrate. The word Yankee has a nebulous origin. Some think it could be an indigenous word, others from the Dutch name for John. What we do know is that eventually it would be used to describe northerners if you were from the south, or Americans if you're from Europe. The equating Americans with the term is why sportswriters in the early 20th century began to refer to the American League baseball club in New York as Yankees rather than highlanders.

With opening day nearly upon us, lets take a look back at how the @New York Mets got their color scheme. #baseball#openingday#nychistory

March 23rd 2020 was the day that New York officially went into lockdown during the Covid pandemic, although many folks had begun to work from home prior to that. I had continued to walk around taking photos of landmarks during this time period and recently took a look back at some of the ones I didn’t post on this page. It was an interesting look at what Manhattan looked like at the time. When I was living on the upper east side, 40% of my neighbors up and left for their second homes giving it a super eerie and deserted feel. I think some of these photos will give you a sense of what it was like.
