Garbage Can on Fire
You read that correctly. Yesterday I was standing at the intersection of 70th and Columbus, waiting for the light to change, when I smelled something funny, like a distant chimney. As I sniffed and tried to identify it, a man passing by said, "Dude! Be careful!" Puzzled, I turned...and saw the fire you see in the above photo. I was standing where the stain is. I did not cause the stain. A few moments after I took the picture, a young man from the deli on that corner came out with a pail of water and doused the fire. Then the light changed and it was time to move on. But man--no wonder the city never sleeps. Parts of it are surprisingly combustible.

You always see interesting things.
A friend (who lives elsewhere) refers to NYC as "the city that never sleeps, which is why everybody there is always so cranky."
