Open Your Eyes While You Run

So - speaking of the World Financial Center, while I was running along the Hudson the other day, I came across this quote on a fence:

"I can't even enjoy a blade of grass unless I know there's a subway handy, or a record store or some other sign that people do not totally regret life."

Frank O'Hara wrote this one - in Meditations in an Emergency. I wonder whether there is any true New Yorker who would disagree.

I have to thank C for pointing this out - it's such a great little gem - especially since I've walked past there hundreds of times and never noticed.

While you're down there, check out various America's Cup sailboats that are currently in-slip there. America II and Stars & Stripes are floating for all to see - they're sailing marvels.
