So, why am I writing about all this now? Well, my friend Jeremiah Moss wrote up a post on Vanishing New York yesterday, and dropped it onto my Facebook timeline with the question, “Is your heart still beating?” According to Jeremiah’s piece, Bleecker Bob’s is soon to become a —- WAIT FOR IT — Starbuck’s.

…

Enjoy your grande frappuccinos, you fuckers.

Flaming Pablum: Farewell to Bleecker Bob’s?

I think I’ve been to Bleecker Bob’s maybe once, but it’s ingrained in my head from building dodgeball.com back in 2001. Bleecker Bob was the edge case that taught me to deal w/ the nuances in the different ways in which people spelled “Bleecker” and the different places on Bleecker Street that all had “Bleecker” in the name (Bleecker Bob, Bleecker Bar, Bleecker Books)

ps: has anyone ever made a list of “legendary” NYC venues that have been replaced by Starbucks? (Like a side-by-side “The Bean, East Village -> Starbucks in Dec 2011”)

The impact of humanity on Earth is humbling from orbit. Our greatest cities appear to the bare eye as minor gray smudges on the edges of continents—they could be the fingerprints of Atlas, from the last time he handled the globe. They are hardly distinguishable from volcanic ash flow or other geologic features. If you didn’t know it was a city, it would be difficult to conclude it was the result of human design. Under the scrutiny of the telephoto lens, things appear different. Like ants moving crumbs of dirt, we are slowly changing our world. You realize that Earth will do just fine, with or without us. We are wedded to this planet, for better or for worse, until mass extinction do us part.

“Sort of TomTom, early tripmaster: rolling key map. The map passes the screen in a tempo that depends on the speed of the car. [1932]”

Fascinating.
