0194 New York subway. “Whoa. Cowboy.”

Posted on August 23, 2016 by Tara Bethune-Leamen

On the subway early one morning, going to the airport, we lived beside Wall St. So the car was full of businessmen, stock brokers. It was packed. We were sitting. One man glided over to another man, standing. Got right in his face, inches, and asked for his wallet. Wallet-man[interesting Wall St./wallet anyway…] was hanging onto one of those subway straps, reading a folded newspaper. He didn’t move, not even his eyes. Just said, very quietly, “Whoa cowboy”. See.

Notes. Previous homes in NYC.

Posted on December 11, 2015 by Tara Bethune-Leamen

Previous, Manhattan, NYC.Notes. Previous home in NYC. Lower Manhattan, right at Wall Street. Quite a thing to walk out into every morning.

Previous, Williamsburg, NYC.My other previous home in NYC. In Williamsburg, Brooklyn. With a view out over lower Manhattan. I have some interior photos that I might post one day.

I guess I could tell the story about when I moved from one address to the other, narrowly avoiding an even closer proximity to a very sad day. But that’s all I feel like saying about it. I lived in NYC from 2000 to 2002. Both these buildings are extremely beautiful and have incredible histories[in point, the Williamsburg warehouse had old pin burns in the hardwood floors].
