I made a video.
I saw Man On Wire.
It was really great.
It's a documentary about a crazy frenchman who did a tight rope walk between the WTC towers in 1974.
It's still playing at the Sunshine Theater if you haven't seen it yet.
Speaking of the Sunshine, every time I go there I think of this photograph by Ben Shahn.
It's called "Houston Street Playground" and it's from circa 1932-36.
That's the Sunshine behind the handball wall.
I don't remember when or how I figured this out but it's true.
Check out this Google Street View for comparison.
The playground is still there too, it's on that little strip between East 1st and Houston.
