just like the “new” city obsession for residents to follow “rules” for which city gov’t abruptly, corruptly have ignored for decades, while we in neighborHOODs do their work for no pay 🙄

Chrome reflections, checkerboard floors, and skyscraper-inspired patterns transform this compact kitchen into a glamorous 1930s masterpiece.

Nobody thought it was possible.
But on May 25, 1986, something happened in America that has never happened anywhere in the world before or since.
At exactly 3:00 in the afternoon, five million people stepped outside — out of their homes, their routines, and their differences — and reached for the hand of a stranger.
From the southern tip of Manhattan, where a six-year-old homeless girl named Amy Sherwood started the chain, all the way to the sun-drenched shores of Long Beach, California — an unimaginable line of human beings stretched 4,125 miles across the continent. Through 16 states. Across the Mississippi River. Through the shadow of the Gateway Arch. Past the Lincoln Memorial. Right through the gates of the White House, where even the President and First Lady stepped outside to join hands.
This was Hands Across America.
It was imperfect. In the desert Southwest, the line had gaps — filled in by ribbons and ropes and sheer stubbornness. It raised $15 million for food banks and shelters, far less than the $100 million organizers had dreamed of. By every spreadsheet measure, it fell short.
But no spreadsheet could measure what really happened that day.
A farmer in Kansas stood next to a teacher from Chicago. Divers held hands underwater in Maryland. A child who had never met a celebrity found herself beside Lionel Richie. An elderly woman who had lived through the Great Depression stood tall in the sunshine and said, without words, I still believe in this country.
For fifteen minutes, ordinary people — not governments, not corporations, not algorithms — physically held this nation together.
The chain may have had gaps. But the feeling didn't.
Nearly four decades later, in a world that sometimes feels like it is coming apart at the seams, that Sunday afternoon in May still whispers something important:
We have done this before.
We reached out.
We held on.
And the hand we grabbed? It was warm.
It was real.
It was human.
We can do it again.

Look: the city selects random sidewalks with patchwork repair. In 2018, there was talk (YNDC) of an apprentice who would repair sections —- never happened. I hired a guy to do 3 rough sections. The city finally replaced the grass covered, broken sidewalks in 2025! BUT, they left some unreplaced sidewalks that continue to sink. Choice: soak shoes or trip onto high elevated grass. Looks like I’ll need to dig a trench (again) to get the water to drain into the street 🙄
Yeah, I know … I’m not on payroll 🤔
