Fish Mosaic at Delancey Street
 Subway Station, NYC, NY


we're not sure if what  follows qualifies as an aquarium,
 but its the best that we can muster up at such short notice. :-)

btw, the mosaics are popping up all over town,
all with different themes.

so why fish as a mosaic theme at Delancey?

our guess is that Delancey Street is not too far from the East River,
Chinatowns' Fish Stalls, or even a skip and a hop from the
old Fulton Fish Market.

in the early 20th century, we know that Delancey Street
had its own Fish Stalls (this was pre-Yuppification).

in a prior post, we told of swimming in the river as a child
and the feel of fish against our bodies as we swam.
 at the time we lived on Allen Street a couple of blocks away.

more recently, we associate the Delacey St/Essex St. station,
where these murals are located, as a transfer point for
Coney Island-bound trains. so there's a connection to
the Coney Island Aquarium.

aha! kinda forced but we DID it,
AQUARIUM.    :-)

we date ourselves, for sure,
but high school was a half century ago.

and THAT particular decade is a blur
{call it a misspent youth. lotsa fun, though}

:-)

we DID sweat this puzzle from the

and TG for the net:
we cheated. :-0

and found the answer online.
we won't say where 'cause we don't want
 to ruin the fun.
