I think of the vision they had.. of making the island a grid, changing the very landscape to become a world of concrete, bricks and steel. And the forethought of having a double train subway that keeps it workable today. The whole water system.. amazing.
Tall skyscrapers.. the New York Times that's supposed to look like it's going up to the sky.. but really looks unfinished. Colorful buildings with designs in glass. That beauty you feel, the temptations resisted, the deals found.. being a tourist, trying to be a New Yorker. A different world a train ride away. Oh yes, and that mildly creepy feeling of walking late at night alone to make the train with moments to spare. And Zaro's bakery.. Arthur Ave bread...
Tell me to hush. I like it there. Sounds like you do too.
