Midtown Manhattan

The alarm sounded, and I rubbed my eyes open. I sat up did a little stretch then flipped off my blanket and hopped out of bed. I was going to New York City that day, so I got dressed and headed out. It was mid-December but felt like late April which was strange but I didn’t mind. I had the picture of New York City in my head from when I lasted visited years ago. Bright lights, beautiful sky, and big buildings flooded my mind to create a perfect scenery. The picture I had envisioned was not what…

A city like Evanston has unprecedented opportunities. Its energy resonates to what I feel when I walk to through the streets of New York City. It is truly home away from home in my mind. But, the best part about the city is that people will not curse you out when you try to get ahead of them if they are walking too slow, or intimidate you if they don’t like the way you are acting.

The rainbow hues of flashing billboards and cameras shine into eyes as the excited screams of newcomers flood the ears making the city feel like home. The star- studded part of the city…

As the lunch-hour fades to afternoon, Zuccotti Park is claimed by yet another class of user: the tourist. Located around the corner from the September 11 Memorial Plaza, Zuccotti Park serves as a place of consolidation. Large, guided groups are particularly likely to use the park as a staging area. Because many of these groups are coming to or from the Memorial Plaza, Zuccotti Park can seem lopsided in the afternoon. The western side of the park hosts much activity, while the eastern edge…

Glaser created this artwork in 1977, and was first used in 1977 to promote the city and state. It was one of the most widely disturbed and imitated image in the world. New York was having a hard time with negative publicity at the time. New York had a slogan (I Love New York), that had been on TV commercials and was even a jingle but yet they still were missing a logo. Glaser was recruited by the Department of Economic Development to meet with Well Rich Greene about logo options. In that…
