Loved the Moss piece - could be me except when the brokers show up I stick my head out and ask the prospects how much they enjoy constant noise, vibration and fumes from the restaurants downstiars on cancer row (6th Street).
The Moss piece was indeed excellent.
Jeremiah's piece is excellent. I can identify with so much of it. I'm glued to my peephole, envision my lonely apartment death, and Google my insufferable neighbors. I think about leaving, but why and I have nowhere to go. Can't afford to go anywhere anyway. I keep waiting for the ebb, for the tide to reclaim the invaders. I, too, am good at being quiet and waiting. Unfortunately, the city is not.
For us on Ave C, Carlina Rivera is number 51 on that list of 50.
@Anon. 5:45 - 11th Street and Ave. B agrees with our brothers and sisters on Avenue C.
Thanks for the tip about Jojo Rabbit! Been wanting to see it and with Taika being there is an added bonus! Was able to snag one of the very very few remaining tickets! Really excited.
JoJo Rabbit is a great movie, and watching how Taika pulled off playing a young boy’s naive version of Hitler in such a deft manner is amazing. Also be sure to see Parasite if you haven’t already, one of the best films in years.
Giovanni - Thanks for the tip! I have that one on my list!! :-)
