Saturday Afternoon in Williamsburg: Vintage Electric Guitars for Sale on Metropolitan Avenue


On this sunny, fairly mild afternoon, vintage electric guitars -- over forty of them at the start -- were on sale from a booth on Metropolitan Avenue by Lorimer Street.

It was "a one-day event," said the man in charge of the booth, which featured some fine-looking guitars from different decades.

A good number of people were interested. Some were buying.

We heard several of them say they were in bands. Naturally. This is Brooklyn.

It was pleasant to hear the sounds as people tried them out or as the sales guy demonstrated the guitars.

Not everyone nearby was interested.

We were content to stop, look and listen, and then, when the time came, earnestly follow the cotton candy man up Lorimer Street to get home.

Sunday Afternoon in Williamsburg: McCarren Park Looks Like Spring


This Sunday afternoon the cotton candy man found everything in McCarren Park a lot greener than it had been a week ago.

We were happy to see everything really look like spring

though since we moved back to New York we depend on Benadryl

to get us through spring allergies we never got in Arizona or Florida.

We happily hung out in the park for a couple of hours, and upon leaving we saw some kind of video being filmed

The song lyrics were about smoking marijuana, something we last did circa 1978.

Maybe it had something to do with April 20th coming up?
