Just stopping by to peruse your excellent blog. I can tell your writing is uniquely and specially you – well done. A hundred years ago when I was in my mid-twenties, I lived on E 11th between 2nd & 3rd Ave’s; your photos bring me back to that special time after Vietnam. Best to you this new year, Natalie.
