The leaf imprints are far more distinctive than the shoddy, lackluster cement sidewalks that crack in no time. At least the leaves introduce detail to the sidewalks. Years back, the city cared more by designing (longlasting) sidewalks with colored stones and pebbles. Apply the age test to both types of sidewalks and compare the differences. Mighty!
There are several sections of slate sidewalk around my place. When I used to go rollerblading when I was younger, it felt like I was floating while going over them.
A Celebration of the Arts 2008
The Bayside Historical Society seeks artists to exhibit their work in BHS’s 8th annual juried art show, "A Celebration of the Arts 2008". Entry forms are being accepted now through May 28th.
The exhibition will run for two months, from June 28th through August 28th, and is open to any artist who creates original two- or three-dimensional works in various media (size and weight limitations may apply). Artists may submit up to three works, and prizes will be awarded to three winners. Ribbons will be awarded for honorable mention.
Artwork will be judged on the basis of content, composition and technical skill. While this year’s jurors have yet to be confirmed, "Celebration of the Arts 2007" featured jurors Herb Tam, Associate Curator at the Queens Museum of Art, and Faustino Quintanilla, Director of the Queensborough Community College (QCC) Art Gallery.
For entry forms and additional information, call (718) 352-1548, or visit the BHS website at www.baysidehistorical.org

dumb post crappy.
The way development is going in Queens, this may be the only place where leaves will be seen.
Dumb comment, anonymous. Lighten up!
I kind of like the leaf imprints.
there's a sidewalk by me that has cat prints in it. Always get a kick of looking at it.
What a stupid thing to be crappy about. Be thankful you have a sidewalk!
