It reads:
Dear Fellow Occupy Wall Streeter,
Please stop defacing & vandalizing the neighborhood. It makes the whole movement look bad. (And it makes you an asshole.)

Not a bad point, huh?
Saw this just now on the way down to meet up with TheWife for an evening excursion in midtown. In case you’re not familiar with NYC, 190th Street is near the top of Manhattan Island while Wall Street is almost at the bottom of it. Meanwhile, 1st Street is only about a fourth(ish) of the way up. So yeah, the #OWS spray-painter is a bit off.
Saw this on the way home the night of December 6, 2011. Looks like the cold or maybe the down economy got to be too much for this poor bear!
Here are some stills I took:
FYI, the front-facing camera on my Android phone flips the picture for some reason and the stills were taken with the back-facing camera, so they’re not only higher quality, but also oriented properly. Sorry for any confusion.
Not sure why it’s got those colors. They seem to change almost every night.
The ESB was lit up blue tonight.
What else could the scaffolding be for if not for hanging the lights? Or
are there ornaments, too? I don’t remember.
The weather right now in NYC (grrrr!)
#OccupyTimesSquare 10/15/11 (#OWS), a set on Flickr.
Honestly, I was not in Times Square yesterday because of the protest. I had been planning on going to the Times Square Toys R Us (because I have a quiet addiction to Lego minifigures) since before I’d heard yesterday was the day the #OccupyWallStreet protests were heading north. I used to be a much bigger protest junkie back in the early 21st Century, but I learned that it’s too easy for our leaders to ignore us so I stopped. Not that I blame anyone for trying and I definitely agree with the sentiment of the “Occupy” protests. So, I was very happy to see them grow so much. I hope they keep on growing!

Snapped this last night while I was out in Queens trying out MexiQ. What are these guys thinking? ;)
