Words On The Dock

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself....

Someone painted the famous lines of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's first inaugural speech on the dock at Jenning's Landing (a.k.a. The Corning Preserve)

Angst

A bit of graffiti on a wall along the Madison Avenue side of the Empire State Plaza.

Hope (and a star)

At the corner of Madison Avenue and Swan Street

Written On The Walls

Names and other words on the wall of the soon-to-closed Valentine's.  The old New Scotland Avenue music club is going to regenerate on Central Avenue with a new name (The Low Beat) as this block is pending demolition.

Weight of It All

Graffiti on one of the massive pylons supporting 787 near the old Central Warehouse.

Over

Graffiti on the vacant remnant of the Wellington Hotel.  This was the Annex on Howard Street (directly behind the main part of the hotel.)  The larger, newer building in the background is the State Comptroller's Office.

Another view (from 2011)

North Pearl Sticker

Found on a North Pearl Street doorway; looks like it's Rocky, the gangster from Looney Tunes

Birthday Mail

Writing found recently on a mailbox on State Street near the Capitol.

Graffiti Ghosts

The chemicals used to clean this graffiti from the wall of one of the stairwells atop the Empire State Plaza apparently etched the marble and left a more permanent version of the stick-figure scrawl.

Blue Eyes

Writing found on the sidewalk near the corner of Washington Avenue and Dove Street. Maybe it's a tribute to someone's girlfriend or, maybe, Frank Sinatra.

Look At Me

A bit of graffiti on State Street, just a few steps east of Lark Street. The arrow points to a bit of blank wall and a narrow alley between two buildings. Nothing to look at, really.

Words of Widsom

Written in black marker on a bench in Ten Eyck Plaza near North Pearl and State Streets.
