But, Mr. Prisant said, a pleasant surprise has been the rich ethnic mix in surrounding neighborhoods. The nearest shopping strip is Church Avenue, along the northern boundary, and while some residents say it could be livelier and more welcoming, Mr. Prisant says it suits him.<br />“Anyone could move out to Westchester and get this home,” he said. “The variety and diversity is what I was used to back on Avenue D, and you can still get it here, in addition to the fun of the house.”<br /><br />Oh please ... onemorefoldedsunsethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05995652957356064546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-6213796365674934592014-05-30T23:49:42.943-04:002014-05-30T23:49:42.943-04:00Grieve,

Why isnt' there more protection for these properties? Like the Uranian phalanstry on 4th Street.. is that getting gutted too?

It was a really frightening glimpse of what's coming. By Friday the neighborhood felt like a post-apocalypitc sci-fi movie, including the smell of fires burning. All it takes is for the power to go out. It's that simple.
