This is Cabbage Row, a revolutionary war era structure, which housed a tenement in the early 1900s. It was known locally as “Cabbage Row." The building was the setting for the novel, “Porgy,” by DuBose Heyward, and the location was named “Catfish Row” because the story was set on the waterfront.

Gettin' Their Freak On

I see my friends at BBB have been tawkin' me up in the underground COOP. I am flattered and honored. Let me guess the TOPIC. Could it be my recent tweets to the oh-so-special and shrine-worthy mods?

My chutzpah? Shocking!

It reminds me of these "Mavens!"

What did you do today?

I went to the National Academy Museum & School. I saw "Will Barnet at 100," and it is a marvelous exhibit.

From their website:
"In the first New York retrospective of the artist’s work, Will Barnet at 100 will explore the dialogue between figuration and abstraction that has defined Barnet’s remarkable 80-year career. A painter, printmaker and teacher who has worked largely outside the various schools of Modernism, Barnet has made significant and unique contributions to American art in the realms of both abstraction and figuration. Will Barnet at 100 will feature approximately 45 works from private and museum collections, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, The Montclair Art Museum, and the Neuberger Museum of Art."

What did you do today?

I "sighted" Kim Kardashian having lunch with Jonathan Cheban at Cafeteria.





And I visited the architecturally glorious Jefferson Market Library.

Hark!

The mods at TelevisionWithoutPity really seemed to have backed off. I read the boards and see all sorts of spelling and grammar errors that a few years ago would have rendered the member immediately ban worthy. And there are so many posts in the wrong TOPIC. And there are so many "board on board" posts I was bored.

It does appear that TWoP has jumped the shark. It is so yesterday. It always was a snoozefest... but, I sort of enjoyed how those mods found me and tried to insult, chagrin, and find my Achillie's heel. They should sit shiva for the most power they will ever have. It was as good as it will ever get for them. I am so glad I was like a red flag waving in front of their transparent nonsense. Fun much?

Bayliss who?
