this is the view to the east from the top of mount morris - that's the tri-borough bridge....

i love this view...you can't see how pretty the bridge really is in this shot, but you can see how big it is and how close it it....

the base of this bridge is on 125th street, the dividing line on my side of harlem between america/nyc and the bronx.
as i found out last weekend, quite by accident, if you don't exit the m60 bus on 125th street at second avenue, then it immediately goes across this bridge....to wards island/randall's island/queens....you want to see someone cry on a public bus? you should have been there...i'd been having a bad couple of weeks and finally had a good day. dragged myself to the grocery store and couldn't drag myself home so decided to take the bus....it's only a few blocks from my place and thought i could get off on first avenue...i was distracted by a witty and highly entertaining text message from my friend tom, and voila! i was well on my way to laguardia airport....

on the plus side, i have to admit, i stayed on the bus for the entire ride (i was loathe to exit, cross the 8 or 10 lanes of crazy traffic in every direction to find a bus stop to get back)...i knew if i wen to the end of the line, it would repeat the loop or atleast leave me at a terminal with easy access to a ride back...turns out, from my apartment, i can walk the 6 blocks to 125th street and pay $2, hop on the m60 and get to the airport. what a deal. it's a $45 value or more, in rush hour....now if only i were flying somewhere and needed to go to the airport on purpose.
