My day was filled with crazy adventures, promiscuous activities, and a wild night.
It began because of my job, I am currently interning with an urban planning organization, and was sent to Long Island City (LIC) to check on a few construction sites. I, and my co-intern, had quite the adventure. Wandering around a neighborhood with clipboards and a camera makes the neighbors wonder. We began speaking with a local homeowner about how he's been in his home for his entire life and how he has seen the region change, then to a hotel owner who wants to further develop the area. Completely different perspectives, and only one block apart. This led to rooftop tours, building adventures, site visits and tons of fun.
In the evening I remained in the neighborhood, enjoyed dinner with a friend at
Anabel's Basin, followed by a midnight adventure to
5 Pointz - which was a trip in itself - and drove around the area speaking to random people on the street, yelling out the windows, making friends, and seeing some crazy artwork - we found a ladder completely covered in toilet paper - snuck into an empty lot or two, and the evening commenced with a view of the
LIC Clocktower lit up in Red-White-and-Blue.
