Underground talent
JPLogan asks…
Whatever happened to street performers?
“It only takes a great musician, battery powered amp, eye seeing dog and a banjo. Subway music Boston style.”

Chutes and Ladders
This story idea and link was submitted by JPLogan of NYC.
Recent salsa reflections had us commenting on gender dynamics. Here’s a look into some theory that’s out there which seeks to explain gender dynamics, from a guy who seems to have approached the male/female game as a graduate internet thesis project. It pretty much goes like this: gals keep two “ladders” where they put men: a friend ladder and a f*ck-ables ladder. Men keep one ladder and there is a hierarchy of women on the ladder based on attraction. Here is a snippet from the webpage, “Ladder Theory”: Chutes and Ladders – continue reading …

Alien Street Cookie Arrives in Inwood via Black Hole
This find was submitted by C-mixto in Inwood, NYC
Speaking of outer space, if this isn’t Street Cookie I don’t know what is. C-mixto submitted this photo reluctantly. He is not a fan of the Street Cookie thread, but was shaken by his find and might be a new believer. This is alien Street Cookie emerging from a black hole vortex. He came across it near Academy Street in Inwood.

“Harlem Homeland Security”
This Urban Odyssey find was submitted by Divafish, discovered two years ago in Harlem. It’s just a find, not an advocacy of opinion, so don’t get all up in arms. Gentrification is not an easy subject or phenomenon.

Something fishy
This post comes from Divafish, the first of you Urban Odyssey bloggers to submit a free standing story outside of your comment boxes:
Here is a little tidbit that I found while walking around the Harlem Meer yesterday. A sign afixed to the fence next to the pond with the image of the dreaded predatory SNAKEHEAD FISH - warning anglers that if they catch such a fish in the pond so bring it to authorities immediately.
A few years ago someone threw a croc (3 feet long) in the Harlem Meer, and a real live “Crocadile Dundee” wrangler was brought in from Florida. The reptile was captured admist of media hullabaloo.
According to the park ranger we spoke to yesterday, the dreaded snakehead is supposedly “delicious”. Are New Yorkers’ playing a deadly game with nature in the Meer, or just another free meal?
We’re coming soon…
Hey…. We’re under construction. Come back soon.
