A fire broke out in a tenement on 7th Street and Avenue C this afternoon. FDNY was on the scene. At the time of posting, I don't have any details on the fire.
Update: No one was hurt in this fire and it sounds like it was confined to the roof.
My favorite row of cherry trees has bloomed on Bleecker and Mercer Streets.
These photos don't do them justice - they really are spectacular and should be viewed in person. But hurry, I give them another week at the most before the pink petals are replaced with green leaves.
There are strange things happening every day I hear music up above my head Fill me up with your wonder Give me my rapture today.
Let me contemplate the presence so divine Let me sing all day and never get tired Fill me up from your loving cup Give me my rapture.
Won’t you guide me through the dark night of the soul That I may better understand your way Let me be just and worthy to receive All the blessings of the lord into my life.
Let me purify my thoughts and words and deeds That I may be a vehicle for thee Let me hold to the truth in the darkest hour Le me sing to the glory of the lord. Give me my rapture today. -Van Morrison
