If you ever drive eastbound on Staten Island’s northern “land edge” route aka Richmond Terrace, you’ve probably seen this mural by Ian Kelleher. The other day I stopped for a closer look and noticed
a delightful additional spoke on Bayonne’s windmill–harkening back about 400 years–and a huge upside-down unicycle just west of the ferry racks.
When I approached the ferry terminal, I noticed some wheel hardware beginning to accumulate.
Parking racks?
Keep your eyes on this location . . . things could be happening soon. By the way, notice there are details of ships hidden in the background of the three previous photos, speaking to the proximity of the Eye . . . or Wheel . . . to shipping channels.

hey Will.. My shop is about a hundred yards down the block from Stonemart. Look for it next time you are down that way; Number 1550. It’s an old place on the sharp curve. I’m only there when I have a project but the roof has a great view of the Kull, NYC, Bayonne and Caddel Dry Dock. Let me know if you want to get up there some time.
