		The stoop was the centerpiece of the urban landscape.
		You could sit on the stoop by yourself, and watch what was going on down the block, or you could hang out with your friends, talk, play, and watch what was going on down the block.
		Stoops maximized the number of guys that could fit into a small area through combined vertical and horizontal seating.

		That's why this tale of the Urban Outdoorsman is more than just a Father's Day story about what a college professor with a BB gun will stoop to when he has pesky gray squirrels and far too much time on his hands.
		It's a warning to Rogue Valley hunters of what might happen if they end up living in a big city when the urge to exercise their role in game management overcomes them and all they have is an imitation Red Ryder and the urban fauna to work with.
		All I needed was to witness his intense pursuit of squirrels in his San Jose, Calif., back yard to know I come from honest, but misplaced, outdoors genes.

	Curbed: Brooklyn: Fort Greene, Clinton Hill & Downtown Archives
		During the past several months, we've had to dislodge three different people who decided our stoop was an ideal spot to sleep, eat, shoot up and relieve themselves --without even the decency to clean up after any of those activities.

		Magic Johnson and friends may be buying the Williamsburg Savings Bank tower in downtown Brooklyn, but one influential group is not happy about the prospects of the place going condo.

	Time Out New York [2]
		It is part of that lovely necklace of neighbourhoods that forms Brownstone Brooklyn: Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill, Carroll Gardens, Fort Greene, Park Slope, miles and miles of residential communities dominated by the classic, cocoa-coloured New York row house, commonly with a staircase, or stoop, leading to the entrance.
		Brooklyn is not a fragile lily, but a once and future urban centre of robust development.
		Another Romanesque Revival knockout, a block east, is the Brooklyn Historical Society, at the corner of Pierrepont and Clinton Streets, by architect George B Post—a symphony of deep reddish-blackish shades in brick, from 1881.

	'New Waterford Girl': Clueless and Angry in a Small 70's Town
		It's not exactly a new story, but the filmmakers' sense of local color, their springy, disjointed narrative style and a general refusal on their part or the actors' to stoop to caricature give this version a freshness and intensity that recall the television series "My So-Called Life" of blessed memory.
		"New Waterford Girl" is being shown with "When the Day Breaks," an animated short film by Wendy Tilby and Amanda Forbis that sketches a landscape of urban disconnection populated by farm animals.
		In its second half, "New Waterford Girl," which had been a meandering tour of its locale, accelerates into a comedy of sexual misunderstanding -- not the least of which is Mooney's own incomprehension of sexual matters.

	Dr. Toulouse - Urban - Fall 2004
		I recognize certain neighbors (most often retired people) as "street captains." These are people who "patrol" my street during the day time, either by hanging out on the stoop or by walking up and talking to other neighbors.
		These are the people who always know what the utility trucks are doing on the street.
		I have at least one person living on my street who I go out of my way to avoid.

	Photographs from the FSA and OWI
		At the building where the pickers congregated at the start of the day, for example, the overall coverage includes a wide-perspective establishing shot, medium shots of little groups of pickers, and a near close-up of a man sitting on the stoop.
		The file contains 123 photographs from the Arkansas portion of the trip, ranging from urban scenes in West Memphis to images of mountaineers in the Ozarks.
		This use of motion picture terminology would be agreeable to Shahn, who once likened his photography of a country auction to the creation of a movie script.

		Shots of white project residents standing at the entrance to a project building; of white girl reading on the stoop of an apartment; of a white boy scrambling under a fence near a housing projects; of white children in the area surrounding the project buildings.
		Vaillancourt reports that Gannett has been fired from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD); that Gannett says that Bunte complained about her aggressive investigation of the BHA's desegregation efforts.

	Jubilee Film Review - Time Out Film
		Its patchily humorous evocation of this landscape lays the film open to criticism: several sequences stoop to juvenile theatrics, and the determined sexual inversion (whereby most women become freakish 'characters', and men loose-limbed sex objects) comes to look disconcertingly like a misogynist binge.
		Jarman has conceived the ingenious idea of transporting Queen Elizabeth I through time to witness the future disintegration of her kingdom as marauding girl punks roam a junky and violent urban landscape.
		But in conception the film remains highly original, and it does deliver enough of the goods to sail effortlessly away with the title of Britain's first official punk movie: 'Rule Britannia', as mimed by Jordan, should have 'em pogoing in the aisles.

	Living Wisdom and Grace - Policy Review, No. 109
		Decter shows us this by contrasting her days on the front stoop of her ’50s suburban apartment complex, where she and the other mothers of the neighborhood gossiped and watched the children, with her daughter’s early days of mothering in an urban neighborhood where all the women had gone off to work.
		Decter seems to have reached a sort of Zen state in which the preoccupations of her youth (and her consequent empathy with youth) are retained, yet also smoothed over by the consciousness of a life well-lived and wisdom attained.
		Decter never fully resolves the contradictions in her life and in her point of view, but implicitly, and at times explicitly, she makes a powerful case for the idea that these contradictions are built into the nature of our current situation.

	* Dusted Reviews - Masta Ace *
		Summer culminates in "Beautiful," a brooding meditation at the album's midpoint, where Ace comments on the sights and sounds of Brooklyn from his front stoop.
		Fittingly, Summer is a more mature ode to urban America than The Infamous or any of the other pulp hip hop albums of the early ’90s.
		Ace, as the experienced timbre of his raps suggest, is a man who has been beyond his borough and seen the plight of the African-American community from within and from without.

		Working in a documentary style… Keith posed members of the community—most often children—on the front stoops of their urban row houses.
		Pictured: John Frank Keith, 1883–1947, Two Girls on a Stoop, Kensington, Philadelphia, about 1925, silver print on paper, 5 3/8 x 3 3/8 in., Smithsonian American Art Museum, Museum purchase from the Charles Isaacs Collection made possible in part by the Luisita L. and Franz H. Denghausen Endowment.
		They were photographed by John Frank Keith, a Philadelphia bookkeeper who spent weekends making photographs of the children and families who lived in his working class neighborhood of Kensington in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

	K's Daily Red Paint
		We were glorifying the role of the stoop, of common human touchstones, of feeling people out in vast urban wastelands and I want to touch something.
		Like O painting a slab of beef because he is hungry, I invoke ghosts that can't satisfy me. But the invocation has a power all its own.
		I don't always understand why it is the way it is, why people are the way they are, and why it takes both such a long time and such a short time to bring about dramatic change.

	Pierre Cuypers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was taught by Frans Andries Durlet, Frans Stoop and Ferdinand Berckmans, all pioneers of the neo-Gothic architecture in Belgium.
		After he studied at the urban college in Roermond, he moved to Antwerp in 1844 to study architecture at the art academy.
		Cuypers was the son of a church painter and grew up in surroundings in which interest for art was encouraged.

	* Dusted Reviews - Masta Ace *
		Ace's observations and commentary on contemporary American urban life are not an immature glorification of drug dealing, prostitution, and murder.
		Summer culminates in "Beautiful," a brooding meditation at the album's midpoint, where Ace comments on the sights and sounds of Brooklyn from his front stoop.
		Ace, as the experienced timbre of his raps suggest, is a man who has been beyond his borough and seen the plight of the African-American community from within and from without.

		"New Waterford Girl" is being shown with "When the Day Breaks," an animated short film by Wendy Tilby and Amanda Forbis that sketches a landscape of urban disconnection populated by farm animals.
		Life in her close-knit, conservative small town seems unbearably drab; even the riot of ill-matched plaids that seems to be New Waterford's idea of fashion can't overcome its essential grayness.
