very glad I discovered your blog, as a fellow New Yorker - one of the few that I will actually come back and check out again and again... really interesting factoids - thanks!

i'd love to hear more from you on the bits of NYC that are in danger but could be saved, or things that we should "grab before they're gone" - as well as the things that have sadly already vanished... E
