OUTRAGE! A Municipal Art Society Photo Competition
July 26, 2007


The streets of New York City are littered with filthy, poorly maintained and decrepit newsracks that are both eyesores and potentially hazardous to New Yorkers.

Paris, London, Berlin and Amsterdam don't tolerate this scourge on their streets, and Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami Beach, Houston and San Francisco have cracked down on the newsrack blight too. But New York City continues to tolerate it, and we think this is outrageous!

Ridding our streets of these nasty newsracks is a dirty job, but somebody has to do it, and the Municipal Art Society needs your help. Submit your best photographs of the dirtiest, most unkempt, most repulsive newsracks in New York City to our OUTRAGE! contest and help persuade elected officials that filthy newsracks are rotting the Big Apple and that they must commit to regulating them.

I am sitting here laughing. This issue has ben one of my Hubbie's most recent vendettas. The corner (s) of 9th street and 5th ave are infected with this scourge.. he has taken pictures and contacted the mayor's office and other appropriate offices to the City.. response.. basically a form letter.. But I do have a series of photographs that are worth submitting showing what an ugly mess the corner is.. especially by Sun eve when the garbage can next to the racks hasn't been empptied in 2 days.
