OUR BRONZE BOVINE TAKES A BEATING
I can’t take credit for bronze bovine – as expected that comes straight from the copy writing pros at The Post, which has the story of a Texas man who left a gash on the bull after beating it with what witnesses reported was an ‘imitation’ banjo, whatever that is. Yup. That happened. And then 1010 WINS reports that the artist – Arturo Di Modica – will fly in from Italy to fix it, and The Post adds that a bull riding group wants to help pay for the repairs.

A CHILD’S FIRSTHAND ACCOUNT OF 9/11 AND PTSD
The web reporter and social media editor for City & State has a first-person account of her time as a fifth grader at PS 234 on 9/11 (she lived in Bay Ridge at the time) and of her experience since with PTSD and the challenges of finding medical care for it.

MAN ON WIRE
Running the day after 9/11, Curbed has a great reflection on Philippe Petit’s 1974 World Trade Center high-wire stunt, and recalls the two films made about the event: “The Walk” and “Man on Wire” — the latter’s title was taken from the police report. The photos included are stunning.

VISIONS OF DOWNTOWN, IN SHADOWS
G. sent this wonderful photo essay in The Times on the theme of shadows – many of which are downtown and set in the ‘60s.

You might not always notice it, but under Manhattan’s bright sunshine, in the canyons of skyscrapers, there stretches a secondary city that unfurls throughout the day and is gone by nightfall: a shifting metropolis of shadows. A trip through the #nytimes photo archive — more than 4 million prints — reveals the allure of shadows around the city for the paper’s staff photographers. Sam Falk, who started working for the paper in 1925, captured the cinematic light and shade at the original Penn Station in 1962, the year before its demolition began. See more shots of the shadow city at the link in our bio. #nytarchives
