Some of my favorite interactions --when I visit my kids in NYC--have happened in the laundry room.

The loss of the lobby table makes me sad. I see how it meant so much when it was there. Community has to be nurtured, and sometimes that nurture takes exertion.

Exactly! It was such an important part of the building.

What fun! I loved my NYC neighbors and neighborhood. Long ago and far away...

This is beautiful. I love the neighborly interactions and I’m sorry for the loss of the lobby table.

I stopped chopping veggies and sat down in the sun to read this piece. It's so moving and insightful and true. These microcosms we inhabit, and the people within them. You took me right into that laundry room with you. I could feel the heat and hear the voices. Oh-Im in a class with you this afternoon I see, Craft school. Maybe you'll talk about this piece!
