Who am I?

Who am I?

Boy, good question. I’m still working on that.This is a works in progress. I’m a works in progress.

Should you know New York, you know the changes…like them or not. I’m not a fan of change (re: Peter Pan).  Yes, we know places close, dark times ensue, cities rebuild. Yet, the air is oddly different in New York.

In the words of Thomas Wolfe…perhaps you just “can’t go home again”.  Still, one can pretend. Through my observations, I attempt to make sense of change, even in the mall-like atmosphere, which currently grips the City.
