Bearing the mark
Some are still standing. Others may already be gone. Such is the fast changing fashion in New York City – here today, gone tomorrow. So fast, it makes you wonder: were they ever really there?

Before leaving Baltimore
We attempted to visit the B&O Railroad Museum but found it closed in preparation of the ”Day Out with Thomas” which, by the way, is coming back this year on April 27-29 and May 4-6.
Instead, we walked back to Penn Station, taking in some city views along the way. But one of the most striking features was Jonathan Borofsky’s much debated Male/Female, a 51-foot (15,5m) of a sculpture overlooking – or, as some would say, clashing with – the classic Beaux-Arts building of the train station. It all depends on the point of view, I guess. Personally, I rather like this dialogue between two giants and was glad to have discovered another artwork by Borofsky (the first one was ”Humanity in Motion” inside the Comcast Center lobby, in Philadelphia).
That’s a wrap of our two-day trip in Baltimore. But stay tuned for more travels, because next, we go to Boston!
