@JasonThorne There was someone who did this all around the East Village in the late '80s. It was beautiful, but sadly, it was removed in the '90s for some reason.
@JasonThorne This is the metaphor I needed today. πŸ™πŸΎπŸ’ž

@JasonThorne

I want to learn how to do that. There are quite a few sidewalks in my town that could use this!

@JasonThorne it's another reason to look down. πŸ‘€
@JasonThorne here the authorities would break it up because of the risk of slipping. But it's beautiful while it lasts. And might force them to do their job!
@JasonThorne Neighborhood kintsukuroi. Love it.

@JasonThorne reminded me of Jim Powers in the east village NYC.
