Street Art and my attempt to notice it

Lets start with a bit of history that will allow you to apprieciate the cartoon below

In the beginning Manhattan Began it's life on the southern most tip (now known as Downtown) the growth was sporadic and random creating a series of spider like road systems eminating from the tip only a few roads cart track's existed like the broadway and the tracks along either side of the island

As the City grew it was clear that the development needed a new direction. Hence City Planners in all their wisdom decided to create a grid system and split the island into "Blocks" formed by a series roads known as Avenues (Up down) and Streets (across) with the odd exception (Diagonal roads like Broadway)

THE PUNCHLINE

This regular road system created almost entirely of right angles in my eyes created "The City of Cross Roads" so much for the "Big Apple"

all these cross roads lead to repetition so much so that on ever corner you can expect to see three things almost without question they are

1. The legendry Trash can or "bin" to us Brits
2. A Bus stop or Parking meter
3. A post box or newspaper box

Such repetion has leads to a lack of Character

However with time this lack of Character is lost and replaced by......




This is my example....




...when I saw this on the street, it made me smile.
