Doormen in SOHO
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007I didn’t know there were doormen in SOHO. Well, not until I got to my friends apartment building where I’ve been staying for the better part of the last week. I love being in SOHO. The neighborhood is great. You can walk everywhere. The shopping around here is spectacular. If only I could afford to [...]
The Underworld!
Tuesday, October 30th, 2007Two stories below the building I’m staying is the subway. Every 5 minutes, the building begins to rumble as the train passes underneath.

Parting thoughts about Atlanta.
Monday, October 1st, 2007I’ll be leaving Atlanta soon. Things didn’t go how I expected them to. I’m glad I came. I’ll be even more happy to leave. Staying in Atlanta would be, for me, the beginning of a type of suffering that I don’t wish to place myself in. Atlanta is one of the most racially polarized cities [...]
