New York in BostonNew!!
Jared and my friend, Alison, gave a lively tour of “New York Streets” today. What was special is that it wasn’t lofty and academic; it was in the plain-spoken language the South End residents (mostly now gone) would have used. There was no whitewashing. How can you summarize an entire neighborhood over two centuries? You […]

My friend, Father Hanna, relates the story of how he, Frank de Martini, and Pablo Ortiz of the Port Authority of NY and NJ rescued 77 workers of MetLife in Tower One. I read my "Day of Fire" to give words to their heroism and that of others. Dignitaries give words of inspiration, and perhaps […]
