my Manhattan: Broadway approaching 125th street



Amazing events occurred near here. walk down to the corner, turn left, up one block and then a life-changing experience, an extraordinary moment or from there, another short walk to another apartment and ... my hand is stayed. and the subway: time and again I rode the IRT north and south: to Music and Art High School, to points at the northern end of Manhattan and also to visit my mother when she practiced medicine in a New York City Health Clinic a block away from 125th street.

Rich in memories and history. Now I am an observer of the changes that Columbia University is undertaking in this area. What folly. But that is the subject for Minding the Store.
