last spring took some pic's but did not realize it would the last time taking pic's of the amusement area, caught a model posing in a shoot, saw the bridge, the city and finally the deutsch bank which made headlines recently due to the death of a firefighter, i never really liked the bank because it broke up cedar street which had a great history, the old apartments where edgar poe once lived, the firehouse bar, a greasey coffee shop, besides it forced me to walk around an extra block to get to my job at 130 cedar street, and when your walking at the 35 mph manhattanite's walking speed, holding a cup of coffee from george's luncheonette which was open 24/7 on rector and washington and having it spit hot coffee from the container unto your freezing hands with the winds whipping around every building at 80 mph, you kind of want to get into your building, but Dear Lord how i miss those day's of working and talking to my old friends in the printing shop, the old guys who fought in the 2nd world war, people i knew and never appreciated, and buildings being torn down to make way for the new world trade center towers which would change our quiet little lives forever and the dear souls lost, the people we passed everyday and never said hello to, the people who had lives like us.
