Our mission? To see the freshly painted Black Lives Matter banner along 5th Avenue.
It was magnificent.
We also saw a Black Lives Matter running protest. The group, mostly wearing white t-shirts and running shorts, stopped at this end of the sign They chanted BLACK LIVES MATTER and the names of some of the most recent victims, then ran off in a pack in a pace faster than I could maintain.
It was also defaced the next day when someone tossed red paint on it.
Let me backtrack on our day. While our main goal was to see the two-day old painting on 5th Avenue in front of Trump Tower, we also wanted to see New York City look like a ghost town.
It was eerie.
We pulled out of the tunnel and immediately found free street parking.
That kind of eerie.
We saw maybe 50 people in Times Square. Maybe.
We saw less people in the Theater District than we saw the night before in Princeton.
We saw more people riding bicycles than cars driving.
Here is our day in pictures.

| I did wait a few minutes to take this picture without people or cars, but not many. |

| I like seeing the costumes on the top floor, though I hope they are not fading in the sun, |
