Chickens Take the Village - Home from the Library!

Back home to Milpitas, back to work - Joanie B. and Alice spent a busy day at the Milpitas Library - storytime in the morning, reference desk all afternoon...its all good, but still...

Alice: I'm sure missing New York...the excitement of sighting chickens and other celebrities at any time in the city, the pizza, the cupcakes..the sounds of sirens--day and night...

Joanie B: I wish I could be going downtown..to The Village...East Village...West Village..wraawwk - even the Lower East Side....downtown like Petula Clark crows...

Alice: I remember the cool places we'd meet up with our kind - chickens in SoHo - across from 72 Spring Street (big coop of Marc Jacobs) - at Pylones ... "Founded in France in 1985, Pylones (pronounced pea-lone), delights consumers everywhere with thoughtful designs and innovative twists on everyday objects."

"Ahhh...the Chickens of Pylones...

Joanie B: ... Chickens in fancy places all over the Village...

Alice: Chickens in the Lower East Side... a part of history...

Joanie B: Just walking around the corner and finding -- our favorite color -- PINK!

Alice: Braaawwk! I miss the PIZZA the most -- John's Pizza on Bleecker Street - a large cheese pie with salad to share...hmmm hm.

Joanie B: I took a picture of the Wimpy Kid - he likes John's Pizza!

Alice: Then strolling down Bleecker Street to the corner of West 11th...to heaven...

MAGNOLIA BAKERY !

Joanie B: Vanilla Buttercream....

Alice: Chook Chook Chocolate Buttercream...then roosting at Bleecker Street Park...having our cake and eating too...ahhhh.
