\nI got a message last week from Mimi about the Blogblast for Peace. She suggested that I make a Peace Globe for my Photo Hunt entry this week, and I would have if:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I had been able to figure out how to do it, and<\/li>\n
  2. I had been able to find the time to post anything<\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Better late than never.\u00a0 I am happy for an opportunity to use this photo I took with my phone one day while I was sitting on my neighbor’s stoop.<\/p>\n

    A peace van! It brought back so many memories of a time when I thought nothing of hopping in the car and driving cross country, or across Europe,\u00a0 ready willing and able to spread the word that would change the world: Cut out the bullshit!<\/span><\/p>\n

    I was so thrilled to see it–and to see it on West 11th Street was strangely gratifying. West 11th Street used to be…well, let’s see. In 1970, a block east of where I live now, some members of the Weather Underground were making bombs in the basement of their “safehouse,”\u00a0 a brownstone that belonged to one of their parents, and blew the place up.<\/p>\n

    These days West 11th Street is more famous as the location of the Magnolia Bakery, where tourists stand in line for hours <\/span>to buy crappy cupcakes just because the bakery\u00a0 was a location on Sex & the City!
    \n<\/span>    \"\"<\/a> I want to scream at them, “Why are you standing in line for cupcakes. You should be trying to overthrow the government.”<\/p>\n

    Times have changed. Life used to imitate art. Now it imitates TV.<\/p>\n
