After moving around the world as a military brat, I have found my home in New York City. I've been here since 1997 and don't plan on leaving.

I started out on the Lower East Side. It's history of housing immigrants was the perfect place for me to get my start. When I first arrived, there was still a flavor of the Eastern European Jews who have been associated with the area for the last 100 years. Here's a snowy viewfrom my window.

At the economy boomed, the immigrants were pushed out. Eventually, I left too. Like those before me, I moved to the burbs: Brooklyn! Caroll Gardens has a solid working class history and is full of families. It is a wonderful resbit from my work in the City.
