Got some friends in the city this weekend so I thought I’d have a NYC-themed mini-post of random eclecticism. Hope they’re having gay ole’ chilly time, heartsies fartsies.
1. Williamsburg design firm, DresserJohnson, have started a service/project called Brooklyn Bunny. It’s a rabbit-sitting service that puts your fuzzy pet on webcam so you can see what the floppy-eared chomper is up to even when you’re away.
2. Earlier this year, sections of Broadway were closed off to traffic and essentially turned into a pedestrian mall for Memorial Day, resulting in a temporary better quality of life. Now there is a new proposition taking that idea a step even further — completely and permanently shutting down 42nd street to traffic and building a light rail system that would span the width of Manhattan. Estimated as a $500 million project, it would triple the amount of people transported at roughly the same cost and be much more eco-friendly.
3. Here’s some NYC-specific marketing for bottled water…subway iconography & Lady America.
4. Perhaps the worst billboard idea for NYC evar? Amer Air plane directed into a building. Ahh, indeed.
