So thoughtful and poignant, a real call to understanding and action for ALL of us. Thank you sharing your perspective, raising your voice and for seeing these young men.
I once crawled out a second-story window and went down a TV antenna, head-first like a squirrel (or maybe Dracula), to retrieve a TV remote one of my idiotic friends had thrown out said window to prevent anyone from changing the channel. Why? I was nineteen. Maybe twenty.
You changed it. This is the original: "The No. 7 train runs through the center of the neighborhood on an elevated platform. In the late afternoon and early evening, the sun ducks behind the skyscrapers in Manhattan to the east, and the whole neighborhood is painted a golden-reddish hue. "
Amazing post... Thank you

Manhattan is WEST of Sunnyside. The sun sets in the WEST!
