It's a little bit scary, but tonight I saw some of the charm. People were out, enjoying the rain-soaked streets. It seems to have an entirely different atmosphere than Boston. Billboards for Broadway shows adorn every bus. The shops spill out onto the sidewalks with careless abandon.
People seem to have a purpose when they walk.
Once things settle down for me financially, I think I'll take another trip into New York. For a weekend, or maybe even a full week. It's not that far from Boston. I don't think I have many years left where I can just up and move somewhere new. NYC had an electric charge to it that I would like to explore a little bit more.
