Somehow this is very addictive. I live in New York but i never notice these stuff. If you have the chance, come downtown to take pictures, since i notice most of your picture are near uptown. Keep up the good work!

I don't know if the comment took or not. Fedex story.
Don't you just love putting your nose to the door and getting someone to open it for you? The face that there was a cab right there is amazing. Yes. Count your blessings. Really enjoy hearing about NYC.
