2nd Avenue Construction in New York

So I wrote in April about what could have been my apartment in New York at 91st and 2nd Avenue (VolunteerExpat: Upper East Side Rat Infestation) and another article came out yesterday about the effects of the 2nd Avenue subway construction on local businesses (NYTimes: Subway Work on 2nd Avenue Hobbles Stores).  The picture included in the Times (below) actually shows what would have been my apartment (the row of windows on the second right above the word "Cottage").

Who knew I'd be moving soon enough to a dirt road in Rwanda...

Also, my lunch just arrived and it is tasty as always.  Goat, rice, spinach from the woman around the corner on the street.  I have this for lunch about four days a week.
