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.

Peter: 31st Aug 2005 - 13:27 GMT

Peter: 24th Jun 2008 - 01:55 GMT
