Little Orange Lighthouse
Rising over "Tuck it away" Storage, near Yankee Stadium is this little gem. Possibly a poor relation of the Little Red one. No storybook. No glory.
Advertising.
But still, better than the scrap heap. Or being locked in storage INSIDE the building!!

Single window fire-escape
Amsterdam & 141st.
I wonder if it meets fire code? And if so, why there aren't more?
Or must the fire escape provide access to 2 different windows, or 2 different rooms?
And why don't they make fire escapes more useful, and provide a larger balcony area (like in theaters, just make sure to keep the aisle clear)
What are the rules/ laws?
Something about prewar buildings, 6 stories in height or shorter.
And for tall buildings, just more stairways??
(This was seen on a Go Bus to Boston, leaving from 31st & 8th, headed up 9th then Amsterdam, until heading east at 155th)
