Glad to see you survived, Matt!

Yep. We had a bit of a scare at my folks' as their big front yard maple tree dropped about half its limbs (one punched a hole through the eaves of the porch roof, but no damage to the inhabited portions of the house). After trying and failing to drag big limbs out of their driveway yesterday, I went out to buy gas and bring over some soup, hot coffee, and candles, and drove up just as the neighbors finished clearing away the limbs with their chainsaw. Perfect timing!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Is it good? I'm sort of obliged to check it out if I'm ever in NYC, it seems that the building was owned by my great-great-grandparents in 1906 and 1907.

The Cash Cab has dropped off passengers at the Tenement Museum several times. I've seen it on some Travel Channel show--it looks really interesting. The book I've got on loan from the bookstore is called "Discovering Jacob Riis," so it's all about that era in NYC.

I'd like a Tenement Museum!
I've GOT to get up early tomorrow. Don't want to. Already.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've been to the Tenement Museum a few times. I think it was Hebrew school field trips. I remember it as being pretty interesting.

I remember visiting a place on a house tour. The address was an alley. It was early 1800s 3 floor + basement. Very cute, VERY small and tight. Pretty much 2 rooms per floor, if that. Great bones but I couldn't imagine living there, even as just me and cats (it had 4 resident cats who didn't give a shit about all the strangers passing through.) And a whole huge family probably inhabited it back in the day.

Well CRAP. I've already missed one somehow? Not cool.
