I went to Fun City today to go to the Museum of Modern Art and see some of the exhibitions with my friend Stan. I took the subway to Rockefeller Center and then walked up Sixth Avenue to 53rd Street where the Museum of Modern Art is. I haven't walked up Sixth Avenue in a bunch of years. I was stunned to see how there is a wall of skyscrapers that are just rectangular buildings with no particular architectural interest at all. They are just monoliths. Not interesting at all.
Here is a view of Sixth avenue showing building after building along Sixth avenue, looking south. I have spent so much time in this area when I was working, but I just don't remember this wall of buildings.
It seems a shame that the buildings all look the same instead of having some unique character :-( Will be interested in seeing photos from the Museum of Modern Art. betsey
