It's Elemental, My Dear Bloomingdale!

Introducing Our Version of Name that Tune

By Caitlin Hawke

A block association is about nothing if not people and place.  This blog leaves a lot of room to depict our members pursuing activities like the Halloween Parade or planting day together. And we've been featuring a lot about our place, but in historical context.  So now here's a new occasional feature: It's Elemental, My Dear Bloomingdale!

This space will be reserved for pieces of our neighborhood. Literally, morsels.  Disconnected from their other context.  Think of it as a sort of "Name That Tune" game but in an architectural edition.  We may get creative.  If you have something you'd like to submit once you get the hang of the game, send a shot my way: [email protected].  The ground rules are simple:  it should be an architectural or abstracted detail that one could see on a stroll around our catchment.  And you should provide in your email an exact address or location so the element you submit may be found. 

So here goes:  name that tune, er, I mean, locate that element!  Put your answer in the comments or email: [email protected].  Stumped and have to know? Check back and at the top of the next "It's Elemental" post, I will reveal the location.

Game on!
