On Chelsea’s grimy 24th Street, a block flanked by the usual bodegas and ethnic restaurants, a nondescript brick tenement walkup happens to have the most lovely decorative balconies. Who took the time to create these angels, and why here?
There’s so much beauty all around us in this city. Keep your eyes peeled and you’ll find it.

Interesting, the fire escape seems to have been exactly half restored.
1/2 renewed, 1/2 still rusted.
Perhaps the grant ran out.
Lovely none the less.
