Nova Speaks
Happy Memorial Day Weekend friends of Our Urban Odyssey,
We’re at the home stretch in New York City at having delicious, consistently warm weather and once again becoming a Sun City.
We were blogging the week away with some fun topics in some nice places. Let’s start with Outerspace. The gates of hell were opened with the first of our series, Dante’s Inferno. Learn who got thrown in. We also had some dialogue on what it means to enter the Twilight Zone.
Landing in Athens, Greece we first saw some more wall murals in Gazi, before I ask you to pass me a molotov as I’m caught up with an angry mob.
Moving to a place where summer is ending, Buneos Aires, we stop to enjoy another street mural before running into Street Cookie again, learning it has legions of demons to help spread chaos.
Back home in New York we were busy… After seeing some graffiti van art that touts, I love my hood, we noticed a sad trend of closing stores, and sigh yes, but there goes the neighborhood… Then we notice some stores that are open that leave us scratching our heads- who told them this was a good idea? And not to be missed is a panting entry with a salsa update, Salsa Libido. I describe this week’s pool of dancers and salacious moves concocted by some clever men. While you read this entry, you can listen to a great song by Tito Puente, Niña y Señora.
Divafish become our first blogger to submit a free-standing story, which I called Something fishy. Hear what lurks in the Harlem Meer…
Finally, Roc Belushi of Harlem Hubris gave us our first little press by sending love, and showing pride on being an inspiration for us. Watch out for Street Cookie, Roc.
Remember to comment on what you read, and when you’re ready to submit a story, email us at ouo@oururbanodyssey.com. We’re waiting to spread word of your odyssey.
Hello to the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
-Nova
