strange fruit
Yesterday, an uptick of traffic to this old post and its related Flickr page solved the mystery behind the above photo. Turns out that those strategically-placed Post-It Notes belong to The Orchard, a big-time music and video licensing company. Their offices are behind those windows on Lafayette Street (although their actual physical address is around the corner, on 4th Street).

Accordingly, I guess I’m wrong about that pixelated fruit being the bonus-points orange from “Pac-Man”. It’s actually The Orchard’s corporate logo, which, from the looks of it, is supposed to be a peach. That would make sense, as peaches do grow in orchards, while oranges grow in groves. (Although this Post-It creation could be doubling as both, just to fit in better with the “Space Invaders” alien and spaceship.)

This art display was still in place as of a couple of days ago, which is the last time I walked past. Hopefully my online exposure won’t spook them into tearing it all down.
