I spent a good part of the past few weeks traveling around NY once again. [http://www.paulzugnoni.com|Paul Zugnoni] visited me in NY for a bit, so we went to see Niagra Falls, and then later took in NYC. On the way to visiting Niagra Falls, we checked out a rather neat [http://gallery.donarmstrong.com/2003/05_may/niagra_falls_05152003/collapsed_building|dilapidated building] that had totally collapsed some time in the past.

We ended up staying at [http://www.hotel31.com|Hotel 31], which is a really inexpensive european style hotel, that was once a SRO, aka wellfare hotel. [For the uninitiated, that means really small rooms with a bath down the hall. But since we weren't there to spend time in a room, who cares?]
