Thank you NYC Parks for the lap swim this summer. Only wish it was all year round. The last swimmer out of the pool on the day before the last day, lingers in the shower. It’s hard to say good-bye.

Peg Simone, Sorceress of the Slide Guitar at LIC Bar, 8/27
Get ready for a rare solo appearance by Peg Simone, Brooklyn-based slide guitar sorceress and siren of the dark blues, tonight at LIC Bar.
“A lot of new music boasts of a good time, but it ends up being the same caffeinated sugar water in a fancy plastic bottle, completely lacking in nutrients, life, and anything that’s good for you. Peg Simone’s new music begins from pure places like poetry, the spoken word, the human breath, feedback, the mystical side of folk and blues, and the effect is icy water coming off the mountain, tasting of soil, rock and organic matter; you want to drink it and let it drip down your neck.” –Black Francis
Missed Opportunities or Mistakes: Why do politicians keep making wrong choices for the City?
There is an old saying, mistakes are correctable, choices are made.
In the case of the redevelopment of the Domino Sugar site on the Williamsburg, Brooklyn waterfront, the wrong choice has been made. A 50-year backward glance offers in hindsight an example of a bad choice that allowed the demolition of Penn Station, one of the most of significant architectural masterpieces of New York, to make way for a sports arena. Since then, citizens have been demanding that there be some attempt at trying to make up for the loss by adaptively re-using the old Farley Post Office, as a new transportation hub, because the present station with the sports arena built above it, is a “shabby” mess.
