“We can’t go to Paris so Paris came to us!” wrote Tom Fedorek, in an email with this photo. An “untitled art film” shoot on 116th and Riverside Drive includes a French newsstand.
Tom says it’s time to rename Riverside Drive “Boulevard Bord de la Rivière.” Immediately, all the apartments on the “Rivière” would be worth 20% more.

Perhaps the ghost of Alain Delon will visit…
Ghost? He is still alive and living in France.
Allow me to amend: the ghost of young, hot Alain Delon.
Wait, does the yesterday-me become a ghost of me today? What about the me from the minute that just passed, or what about the me from a second that just passed? Is my existence a continuous flow through space-time or am I like a storybook, with each moment imprinted on its own separate and distinctive page.
Continuity of consciousness is probably an illusion.
… and we are living in a ghost town.

Love this thread!
