I have a community of mourning doves, chickadees, and sparrows that I feed on my East-facing window sills every morning. They hang out in the two trees outside my window. Their songs are sweet and I love that I can help warm their little bellies.<br /><br />In the spring and summer, my apartment is blocked from any prying eyes by the lush greenery of the trees. I wake up on lazy Sunday mornings and see sun, sky, and branches and the red brick building across the busy street. Give that up for a "luxury" hi-rise apartment? Heck no!!!Roger_Pawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15785820064904044452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-2094937408805380072011-03-11T11:35:52.960-05:002011-03-11T11:35:52.960-05:00It's funny.

And whenever I am in NYC I will send you an email. Would love to hang out one day in Washington Park! :)<br /><br />Greetings from Amsterdam, the Netherlands!<br /><br />BasBasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-65196448538708255962011-03-07T15:09:35.480-05:002011-03-07T15:09:35.480-05:00Chicken Underwear - perhaps that's what I did ...Chicken Underwear - perhaps that's what I did not like about it. It is so isolated in a way - a residential oasis situated in a very highly trafficked area.Brian Dubéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579167361224067819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-43478871621137259532011-03-07T14:38:06.206-05:002011-03-07T14:38:06.206-05:00I just don't get it.

I don't think that is desirable for anyone who has ever lived in a city before.<br /><br />It is Brooklyn's version of a suburban gated community.chickenunderwearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043134998899686830noreply@blogger.com
