Tower Records in 1984 on 4th St & Broadway, photo: Brandi Merolla. I was very fortunate to be art director of Tower for its first 3 years on 4th Street creating... handmade displays for the entire store. They opened in 1983 to a then dark lower Broadway. This was one of my window displays. Being a huge fan of the Talking Heads, I remember putting on the "big suit" from the film and walking around the art department! Great memories See more

Unknown to many, the Charging Bull was created by Arturo Di Modica after Black Monday, the day the stock market crashed. He dropped the sculpture without perm...ission in Lower Manhattan. It was then removed by the police and it is now located in the Financial District and rapidly became an urban legend visited by thousands of tourists from all over the world. It is believed that touching the horns and the testicles bring virility and prosperity. I took this photo showing this fun moment,i didn't pose it, it just happened in front of me. It is with sadness I learned Arturo Di Modica, an immigrant from Sicily, just passed away. Photo from the book "New York City Up and Down" (Glitterati). See more

I'd like to invite everyone to join the California Book Club. It's an undertaking that's near and dear to my heart: a FREE monthly event series whose purpose is... to raise the profile of California writing, define a canon for the Golden State that reflects its wonderful diversity and humanity, and above all, to encourage reading and thoughtful discussion. Becoming a member is free and you'll get a snazzy set of bookplates (designed by Michael Schwab!). We couldn't do this without help from Los Angeles Public Library, San Francisco Public Library, Vroman's Bookstore, Books Inc., Book Passage Bookstore & Cafe, ZYZZYVA Literary Magazine, Narrative Magazine, Bookshop, and Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West. PLEASE support them. Our first gathering is Thursday 15 October at 5pm. CBC host John Freeman will speak with C Pam Zhang about her amazing debut novel, How Much of These Hills is Gold.
