terrific, i worked at 44th and 8th ave as a concierge at the milford, the grand hyatt and the plaza. things have changed. 8th ave and 42nd st. were hubs for prosties and druggies. i went to high school on 49th and 10th ave. loved the action back in the 60's. the old garden at 49th st. the old penn station. at 4am i could drive from 56th and 7th ave down to the wtc in 7 minutes. the lights are sync'd and there is no traffic. good job peter. i always hated the williamsburg bridge, i felt my car being pulled off the side roadway, it's too high and too old.

I like the grainyness I guess you get with the phone...if you tell the cops you were taking pictures instead of talking, will you still get a ticket? Well, scratch that. You'll probably get arrested.

Nice pitures.. Is this pictures from centrum of NYC?? Im planning to visit your city in the future.. 101 post Ave, Tilden ave(bronx) Hyland park, Stocholm street.. i have heard about this places.. is it a nice and safe place to visit...

Peter: 31st Aug 2005 - 13:27 GMT

there are about 100000000000 places id go visit in nyc before heading up to the bronx, yes...

Peter: 24th Jun 2008 - 01:55 GMT

you know, in hindsight, that was a very snobby thing for me to say about the . sorry, bronx.

also: its sort of nice to not have a car any longer...
