Ayn Rand Slept Here (Or Just Slept With Someone Here)

So I decided that I would post a few photos of the new neighborhood a la BK and Catch That? It is great blog to follow if you know New York and even if you don't. The guy does good work. Keep it up my friend.

Anyhoo, this is the first photo I decided I would post. Forgive the poor image, it was on my phone... It's an apartment overhang on my block in Capitol Hill.

For those of you that need the background, Ayn Rand is the founder of Objectivism and the author of several books, most notably, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. I haven't read Fountainhead but spent a year of my life reading Atlas. I don't recommend it for beach reading or if you find yourself bored one day and decide to pick something up. It is an epic piece of literature that is a must read for libertarians and bookworms.

I noticed this overhang right away after I moved to CH and wondered of the genesis of the name. It might be worth looking into...

Keep up the pictures! I'm obviously a fan. I started out using my BB camera b/c I kept forgetting my camera. A yearning for quality shots has forced me to carry my camera literally everywhere I go.
