June 2020: There Is Not Much To Show

Well, it certainly seems I did not do much in June. And I thought April was my most locked-down month!

JUNE 6: While the protests were occurring, there was some major scorched-earth looting along Fordham Road in the Bronx, just over the river from Inwood. Rumors ran rampant that Dyckman street was the looters’ next target, so I when I went out this night to pay my rent I found many businesses well boarded up and something of local anti-looting militia patrolling the neighborhood before staking out on Dyckman for the night. As far as I know the looters never came, BUT I very strongly believe I heard gunfire that night (and not just the usual late-night independent fireworks show).

JUNE 8: Surprise “visit” to Festus’s with Garrett, too.

JUNE 13: I could hear a band playing so I went out to find out what was going on. Turns out it was a concert at the fruit stand! The fruit stand man gave me a banana which (mistakenly) I tried to eat with my mask on. Also discovered the church on the corner is open now. And found some saddles for sale.

Really these posts would be longer if I was including the food I’ve been cooking or the books I’ve been reading, but I’ve kept that content Instagram-exclusive.
