Thank you for the Chabon article. I grew up not far from Flatbush in Brooklyn and I had a "lot" with many mysteries - they even warned that there was quicksand back there.
I think we had more interesting people back then too. I remember crazy neighborhood people - like "Izzy Bender" who was a crazy and crooked man - now these unique individuals are on prozac.
The article is also a reminder of how to live life. I really enjoyed it and have sent it on to a friend who will also exactly understand it.
