Love seeing the corner of 10th and then 11th -- so much remains the same amid all the change. And then the view of Beth Israel in the distance at 14th, ahhh.

Something about this is just so heartwarming for me, to feel like a part of a long, continuous river of NYC history.

thank you; January 13, 2012 at 11:20 PM
