Okay sure it's ugly we have learned to expect that in the EV these days, but I was saddened to read about the roof top space open to tenants this can mean only one thing, all night rave parties and no sleep for neighbors.

The only one I remember clearly was Dave, who played tenor sax with only two fingers on his right hand; could never figure out how he did it, but the sounds he - and indeed the whole group - produced were magical. Sometimes I'd be walking down Avenue A and in the stillness hear them, and it was like being in a dream. They just vanished some time around 1982, never heard or saw them again, but to this day I wonder what happened to them, and if any of them are still alive.Gojiranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-8902771559215803662016-07-27T12:17:04.042-04:002016-07-27T12:17:04.042-04:00Rev.

They both can commingle with one another. As I've said, at times, we must embrace change, within reason of course. I wonder how much these units will go for once they're on the market?

Almost that entire block had been razed, the abandoned building next door (the corner of B and 12) was a crack den which set itself (and our building) on fire a few times. And a lot of petty crime was going on. But all through it, I would hear the attendees of that church across the street at all hours of the day and night having services and singing their hearts out.<br /><br />It made me look out beyond my little anarcho-punk whiteboy self and see the community around me in that mess of a block. Although I would never have guessed that the area would become luxury rentals back then!Dan C.noreply@blogger.com
