The Little Building That Could (38th Street, Manhattan)

I'm amazed whenever I see a small building nestled among much larger ones, especially in Manhattan, where real estate is so expensive. Has someone deliberately decided to forgo the millions of dollars they would make by developing or selling it? Or have the owners forgotten they own it? Or does someone love this building, or this corner of Manhattan, so much that they want to keep this little piece of littleness just as it is? Then again, the scaffolding and boarded-up windows suggest that maybe the building isn't long for this world anyway...

Dead Mayors' Club, Dallas, TX

Working on a video in Dallas, I had a chance to interview Council Member Delia Jasso (being miked by Niki). That she's a woman is hardly remarkable--until you see the photos in a City Hall corridor of the OWM (old white men) who once served as Dallas' mayors. It wasn't until Adlene Harrison in 1976 that the city had a female mayor. Bottom right is just a sampling of their pale, dry faces. I found the dude at bottom left so intriguing--the visual embodiment of old-school politician--that I thought he deserved a separate image.
