I found this picture in the other computer a few days ago and realized I needed to share it, the muted horn being a little more permanent:
This is from Macon Street, just off of Patchen, which was one of our cross streets, and Macon was just a single block down from Halsey, our street. Basically, this was super close to our place, somehow I made it early, and, stranger still, no one else dirtied up the drying concrete.
Interesting historical tidbit: Across the street are rowhouses, and, if one looks to the right and imagines more rowhouses, one would be looking at Chris Rock's childhood rowhouse. Chris Rock grew up on this exact block of Macon street, at least that's what the newspaper said. They gave the address of the house that his family owned and from which they rented rooms, like in the sit-com "Everybody Hates Chris", a good show, but filmed on the Universal set in Hollywood, and not in this neighborhood.
I noticed that the address was for Macon St, and that it must have been very close. That information came to me much later than this photo opportunity. I took picture of the house itself, but I haven't found them yet.
