He was an Irish fellow who lives on Long Island, but he was quick to tell me that his parents lived in Bushwick before he was born. I think he's the only Irish person I've ever seen in the neighborhood.

Hosing down their homemade wooden sculpture of the WTC, he grinned and said "Look, I'm hosing down the {World Trade Center".

It was sort of weird.
