Bicycle parking all over LIC

Have you noticed the big uptick in bike parking all over LIC?

There are lots more bike lock stations near the subway stops. And near Vernon-Jackson 7 stop, there is an actual bike parking "garage" with an awesome map of all the bike parking locations.

Art openings around LIC this weekend

It was the weekend of art openings in LIC this weekend; probably something to do with the lovely spring weather on Sunday.

Fisher Landau hosted the Columbia University MFA students for their graduation year show. Some great stuff -- and a nice party. Normally a sleepy place where you can check out masterpieces of post 1950 American art all by your lonesome.

Also, at Socrates Sculpture Park, the big new show was on display (including Jon Allen's excellent recycled billboard billboard):
