Manny Howard emailed this photo in response to our post on San Francisco street murals…The Subject Line read:
“the last mural to catch my eye was on the feed store in the bronx where i buy my chicken food”
Manny still keeps a few chickens from the days when he turned his Brooklyn backyard into a farm as an experiment. His book, My Empire of Dirt: How One Man Turned His Big-City Backyard into a Farm
We love that a feed store and a graffiti mural co-exist side by side, a swell Reality Sandwich*
*”Reality Sandwich” is from a work by the Beat poet Allen Ginsberg, ‘a prime example of his use of startling verbal juxtapositions to suggest new ideas and connections.’” -Wikipedia…You can buy Ginsburg’s Reality Sandwiches here.
