Architecture and the City

Wall Street / Lower Manhattan Architecture Tour

I don’t think I have much to say about Wall Street. There are generally not very warm feelings that I have for them right now.

I mean this looks very pretty:

But on the day we visited, it had that awful yellow billboard of a corporate advertisement for what looked like a mix between an arthritis medicine and a new pedigree beef chews product.

I mean makes me want to vomit:

At least I can look at this and think about how fascinating how that this used to be a little river and now it houses thieves and criminals. At least they are nice buildings.

And oh look: Trinity Church. A nice rock of a place that has been around forever. If only those brokers and investment bankers went more often for solace and spiritual consultation and guidance. Their souls need to REPENT.

The only saving grace is that Washington was inaugurated here. We like Washington.

And Alexander Hamilton was a strong advocate for a solid, robust economy and market.

God, I love this man so fine, Wall Street, you are just borderline incredulous, but still utterly, utterly unreasonable.
