    Have a safe and peaceful weekend. 05/27/22
    Marianne W.

    Memorial Day was originally known as Decoration Day. It's a federal holiday in the United States for mourning the U.S. military personnel who have died while serving in the armed forces. It currently is observed on the last Monday of May each year. It was formerly observed on May 30 from 1868 to 1970. Many people visit cemeteries and memorials on Memorial Day to honor and mourn those who died while serving in the military. Volunteers place American flags on graves of military personnel in national cemeteries. Memorial Day is also considered the unofficial beginning of summer in the United States. It concerns me that the beginning of the unofficial Summer Season is typically the focus of the holiday. The first thing that comes to mind is hit the beach and have picnics. The NYPD is very busy this holiday. There's a lot of traveling so highway and pedestrian accidents increase. I have so many family members that were in the armed forces. I think of them all year long. I never EVER never take my freedom for granted. Yes I'm horrified and very fearful every day. I feel helpless. I'm depending on the youth to fight the forces of oppression. Thank you Omar for your review. All I can do is be grateful to my Uncle Joe that lost his life at age 20 over France, and the rest of my family members that have served. Thanks to anyone else using this social media platform that has also served or is currently serving our country.

    Freeman Alley - Love this alley to a passion

    Been to Freeman Alley a couple of times. Yesterday went and to my surprise there were some…read moregraffiti artists painting. One of them named SoHo took a liking to my nephew and helped him paint & helped my niece paint as ℓℓ. The graffiti alley is constantly changing & is the only place in NYC that it's legal to do graffiti. I love going to all graffiti alleys.

    I will admit that New York City has some really amazing hole-in-the-wall places that are worth…read morechecking out. But at what cost? Well, I will say that this experience that I had on my most recent trip was absolutely 100% FREE and worth every minute! And for anyone that truly appreciates some breathtaking artwork & graffiti, I definitely encourage you to visit "Freeman Alley". Located in the Lower East Side neighborhood of New York City, this alley is situated directly off of Rivington St and tucked in between Bowery/Chrystie St's. I ended up coming here during the night of Monday 10/13/2025 at around 10:30pm. Getting here is fairly simple as you can arrive by taxi, subway, rideshare, bike, or on foot. However, finding this alley can be a bit tricky. But once you're here, you will be blown away with the amount of amazing art in all directions. During my visit, I saw murals of past and present fictional and real characters that included Mr. Monopoly, Aaliyah, Count von Count, Ozzy Osbourne, and many more. There are also stickers that represent local businesses, organizations, and other various ways to advertise. From an artists perspective, this place is really unique but some might find some of the wording a little bit offensive. However, I enjoyed strolling through this alley as it represents much of what New York City is all about. My rating, a perfect five stars.
