24 years ago - 9/11

Before there was Catskill Farms there was Chuck in NYC, ill-fitted, ill-suited, ill-prepared for big city life. But I learned a lot, a lot of it sort embarrassing in the rear view mirror. But I happened to be working in Soho at the Scholastic HQ that was being built and I was at the breakfast bar up top, with a pretty view south towards the towers when all hell broke loose. The next day I made my way down there, having grabbed some Cen Hud yellow coveralls as diversionary disguise - not that there was a lot of perimeter enforcement at the time. Scary, cause buildings were still falling, creaking, moaning and falling over.

The yellow envelope says "Directions to Country Clubs".

I spent the day down there, helping on the bucket chains, roaming an empty building, taking some photos on a real camera - no iphones yet.
