Yes, I know, the Hamptons have de Kooning and Pollack, but can they really hold a candle to the unknown artist who did the mural across from the Riverhead
train station of a train happily drinking a beer?

Hey thats Thomas the Tank Engines brother....he's Homeless and sleeps in the back of the tavern.The painting was done by a patron of the establishment...
The owner of the establishment owns the entire building.In fact he is a very nice guy ! I use to go in there when I was in the bar business...In fact I was in mostly every establishment from Rocky point to southold. It's what bartenders do to build up there clientele.not much of that happening anymore everything is restaurants. I love the Painting ....... Laurie |

For some reason I never noticed it. I guess the taggers haven't gotten to it yet. Yes, it's a work of art in the "so bad it's good
genre." "Dogs Playing Poker" fetches a lot of money on ebay!

It's funny ..in every town that has a Railroad ave in it people freak and are scared.
My kids while younger would walk to Railroad ave to Mays market and buy fried chicken and fries for $3. on the way home from the Library...They did that for years. People only fear what they don't know. Laurie |
