The worse I was told it was, the more I wanted to live there. Visions of West Side Story filled my mind as I imagined myself making out with Tania. She was the childhood sweetheart I was too shy to ever talk to. But somehow I believed that simply being on a rooftop in Harlem would give me the courage to tell her how I felt. Silly, I know, but Harlem always had a particular allure for me and I?m glad the phoenix is rising from the ashes. I grew up on long Island in the 70s dying to live in the city.
