Shooting from the 21st Floor :) (1) Flying over stuff is really cool. I remember the short hop flights I used to take from when I was in Buffalo freshman year of college. You weren't up there long enough to feel jetlag or anything (45 minutes in a jet, an hour on a prop), but you were up there long enough to enjoy beautiful views...and coming in to the New York skyline late at night from 25000 feet is awe-inspiring.
(2) The area around Stuy is fully developed now...it's amazing. The park where the baseball fields used to be is now like a 30-story luxury apartment complex of rooms I can't quite nearly afford (yet! $), none of the stores from when we went still exist really, and Stuy looks tiny compared to everything else there now.
(3) You get to keep the title of "New Yorker" so long as you keep coming back regularly. Once you decide you're done (a sad day I say), you become a transplant. Never really an Indianan (or whatever you guys call yourselves out there), but never really a New Yorker again. Speaking of which, keep coming back =).
(4) I don't ask for things...I ask only for time :) - what chances is there that you get to spare some of your time to hang out for a bit? :) I'd ask you over the phone, but I dunno if I have the right number anymore, and I'm not sure I wanna call random numbers. How long are you gonna be around anyways? :)
