friendships are the glue to cities, and this doesn’t just mean intensification and destiny.  city sidewalks are long, linear stages for conversation.

so are outdoor dining rooms

and breakfast places that become bars at night

or art exhibitions to navigate

cities are where friendship finds alchemy in colour and light

where there also causes to defend.  Here, the sculpted white-bronze facade of the American Folk Museum, slated for demolition by its hungry neighbour, the Museum of Modern Art, NYC.
