Sure there's plenty of cartoonish plastic & steel fronting the Times Square / 42nd St. corporate theme park, but it gets harder all the time to find concentrated organic storefront visual vitality in NYC. Luckily there's still some on 8th Ave. between 39th & 40th.

I hardly notice the Subway sign, lost in the barrage of cheesy We Buy Gold signs. In fact I'm thinking that after I sell my gold (caps, crowns and fillings), I might just get a tattoo, a $125 suit, some Lingeries Toys, jewelry and a fresh haircut, then get a picture taken and renew my passport so I can take one of the trips advertized on the building above right!
