And now, we have come to the end of the Bleecker Street Tour. Having traveled full circle, we are looking at the other side of Joes Pizza - the first shop on the tour [ <A HREF="http://www.fotolog.net/ronni/?photo_id=6907957" TARGET=_top>http://www.fotolog.net/ronni/?photo_id=6907957</A> ]- from the vantage point this time of Father Demo Square.
During our walk, two shops - Mona Lisa restaurant [<A HREF="http://www.fotolog.net/ronni/?photo_id=7677983" TARGET=_top>http://www.fotolog.net/ronni/?photo_id=7677983</A> ] and Zitos Bakery [<A HREF="http://www.fotolog.net/ronni/?photo_id=7803654" TARGET=_top>http://www.fotolog.net/ronni/?photo_id=7803654</A> ] have closed and I lament the demise of both.
Even with Our Lady of Pompeii Church taking up an entire block on one side of Bleecker, we have visited 53 individual locations. Im surprised. No way when I started would I have guessed there are so many.
Even so, the neighborhood would make good use of a trustworthy fish market, a liquor and wine shop, a real deli that roasts chickens every day. A French bistro would be nice too. I long for a traditional croque monsieur with a good bottle of rouge which I can get only at the far north end of Greenwich Avenue a bit too far to make it a regular. And without Zito`s, we NEED a bread bakery.
Nevertheless, my little corner of the Big Apple is my favorite place in all of New York City. I like the small-town feel and attitude here, and I still have, no more than a few minutes away, all the glitz, glitter and culture, high and low, of a world-class city.
Thank you for coming with me on this little walk. Your comments have have been inspiring and made it so much more interesting than it would have been without them.
STAY TUNED FOR "THE CARMINE STREET TOUR" BEGINNING HERE ANY DAY NOW.

I think the guy on the bench is also in one of my pics, no kidding. He was sitting on one of the nearer benches. I haven`t cataloged everything. I take too many images. Great series. Looking foward to the next.

Thanx for the tour. An original idea, and enlightening for those who are far away! Carmine street? Yay... let`s go! :-)

Hi Ronni -- thanks for the good welcome! Nice to be back.Hey -- I had an encouraging maiden voyage as a street singer in Washington Square Park last weekend. A pretty nice reception, I felt, from scattered listeners, and from people I did some jamming with, as well. I`m thinking I`ll try to make it a regular Saturday late afternoon thing -- like 5 to 8. I`ll keep you up to date. It would be lovely if you came by and said hi!

War is the plague that human beings bring upon themselves. It is also a plague we might be able to end. On any given day since you and I were born, some part of the world has been at warin 2003 the total number of open conflicts was thirty. In the twentieth century at least 108 million people died in wars. Of the 20 largest military budgets on earth, 14 belong to developing countries. The United States spends more on its military than the next 16 countries combined
