It's a beautiful April Day.

A lot of good photography on display.  I usually like to credit the artists, but this day I bumped into my friend Sandra, and was distracted.  I did pick up some info on two artists Andrea Galvani and I believe the people at the bank etc are by Robert Overby.

And from The newspaper:
David Schwimmer, of the TV show 'Friends', bought a 4-storey 1852 house on 6th Street between 1st and 2nd Aves for $4.1 million.  When the Landmarks Preservation Commission informed him that the building was being considered for landmark status he tore it down.  He's putting in an elevated six story residential building. Tuesday, scaffolding collapsed on a pedestrian who was then taken to the hospital "with non-life-threatening injuries.

What I'm watching:
'Ruggles of Red Gap'.  [Excellent choice Frank.  Glad you told me about it.]
It stars Charles Laughton, Mary Boland, Charles Ruggles, Zasu Pitts, and Roland Young.  Written by Harry Leon Wilson, who wrote both the novel and the play.  Adapted by Humphrey Pearson, with the screenplay by Walter De Leon and Harlan Thompson.  Directed by Leo McCarey, who also did 'An Affair to Remember', 'Duck Soup', and 'The Awful Truth'.  The movie was nominated for Best Picture but lost to 'Mutiny On The Bounty'  also with Charles Laughton.  1935 was a banner year for Laughton.
