hey, dig the site and all the cultcha- New Yorker living in Asia (for a while) and find it fascinating the game of catch-up they're playing. However, the new initiative to build Asia's first Guggenheim is interesting -- not only for the socio-economic implications but the design -- on many levels. Pic here at this story and you can find others around. The architect is an Iraqi of all things. Spacey, not Gehry. story: http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/feat/archives/2003/10/04/2003070398 Image: http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/feat/photo/2003/10/04/0000063161

Did anyone else find the ohny.com site nigh-unusable? And their logo is a bad knock-off of the Getty Center's: http://www.ohny.org/ohny_website/ohny_logo_new6C.jpg http://www.getty.edu/global/images/global_logo_new.gif (Damn the no-html-in-posts rule.) But, a good idea overall. Eager to see some off-limits places.

Just checked the site. The Green-Wood tours require a reservation. Well, I assume they "require" instead of just take reservations for the heck of it. reserve in advance 718.788.7850 I give the number because my reservation has already been made.

Be sure to check out Green-Wood Cemetery on Saturday. Tour includes the catacombs. It's going to be really crowded.

Shhhhh...otherwise everyone will come out and play. I'm just kidding but I am looking forward to the High Bridge Water Tower too...
