My original search found a posting closer to the current date, 21 July, 2011, but I found the information so fascinating and soothing to my old NY culture-starved soul, that I went back to what I believe is your first post.<br /><br />Great work, and please keep it up. It seems that now, after just five years, your blog itself may qualify for some position in the lost NY archives - not in and of itself, but some of its subjects have now retreated enough to render them vague memories. <br /><br />For me, it is the living, breathing part of history that touches the heart and allows a culture, or an idea to continue with a vibrant resonance. Museums rarely have that quality; books and songs sometimes do.<br /><br />Stephen Vincent Benet's 'John Brown's Body' brings the spirit of the Civil War more to life than any history book - for me, at least.<br /><br />Your musings and memories similarly bring back to life part of the charm and magnetic attraction that New York City once had.<br /><br />Very glad to make your acquaintance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
