INSTAGRAM Elation

 A return to an old favorite of this blog, people posing on the Tudor City Bridge, the majesty of New York behind them.

MISCELLANY

Hello and welcome to this edition of miscellany. This manipulated photograph by our good friend Garth Justice is entitled "The Lantern."

⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺

A screen shot from The Tick, showing the title character holding onto a bus for dear life so that the passengers have enough time to scramble off.  (Their bus has crashed through the barrier on Tudor City Bridge and hovers 50 feet in the air above 42nd Street.) More on this, here. 

In our opinion, the best use of special effects in Tudor City to date. Streaming on Amazon Prime.

42nd Street, around 1937. You can actually make out the Tudor City sign in the distance. 

⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺

Finally, there is a graffiti problem once again, with No. 45, No. 25 and the Tudor City Bridge all tagged by the same person, "Zoot." Though none of these tags can be seen when you walk down Tudor City Place, they are there. Facing a New York City icon, the Secretariat of the United Nations, to boot.

Odds and Ends

Today's post is a catalogue of almost-there moments, moments when you had a vague glimmer of Tudor City.  

From the Daily News of 1960, comes the unlikely story of the seven-foot tall wolfhounds and the 12-year-old starlet. We will leave the details up to you.

Tudor City's towers lay hazily in the background of this photo made in the 1930s. The men are Stew, Mac, Leo, Roberto and Bob (via a note on the back). In the upper right corner are the smokestacks of the New York Edison Company.

Also from the Daily News, a picture of the 1969 Summer Festival Queen, toting a banner reading "New York is a Summer Festival." They had much better luck a few years later with a different slogan, the year-round "I ❤ NY."

Edie Sedgwick ('It' Girl of 1965), Chuck Wein (friend of Edie) and Andy Warhol (artist) at a cocktail party at the Empire State building. Tudor City at the upper right, above the artist's head. More Andy Warhol, here.
