Comments on: Artist Christo Comes to Ulysses! http://findingulysses.com/2006/12/07/christo-kinney/ Blog and discussion forum for residents of Trumansburg and Ulysses, New York Tue, 27 Jul 2010 22:54:04 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Rick http://findingulysses.com/2006/12/07/christo-kinney/comment-page-1/#comment-1931 Rick Fri, 22 Dec 2006 17:43:02 +0000 http://findingulysses.com/2006/12/07/christo-kinney/#comment-1931 How about someone putting together a photo collage of all the lovely EXISTING businesses along route 96 between T-burg and Jacksonville. I usually barrel through this stretch with blinders on, but today I did a little reality check while driving into Ithaca. The ugly steel building/large parking lot school of architecture is represented by the Sure-Save, Palmer's, and McGuire's. Next we have the Bar Angus and the Stover's interesting multiplex (which I generously categorize as "frontier" architecture). And then there's the used car/fine cabinetry buildings on the right that truly defy definition. What can you say? So, it's hard for me to be too critical of Kinney Drug when I see what the local business community has done to us without any help from national chains. All the best.

Yes, the new site does look quite eerie about the site with those white sites up. I rode by yesterday night on the bus and the entire thing looked like the bee-drome scenes in The X-Files Movie. Remember that? Anyone? Your picture is also great. It takes something that is actually very mundane, buts it in an entire new light. Isn't that what all art modern is supposed to be about any way? The flecks of snow and the sickly administrative green-white of the light make it all more surreal. Peace! Always enjoy your posts Jonathan.
