This is why I moved to Williamsburg decades ago (totally dated myself there) — I couldn’t get my LES friends to even come over for a visit, ONE STOP ON THE DAMN L, for the longest time. I’m long gone from both wburg and NYC altogether, my Manhattan skyline view now obliterated anyway by memories of witnessing 9–11 from my rooftop, and also now a couple of really, REALLY fugly highrises blocking the way.
