Room with a View

[rick barclay]

For a mere $900/mo., you too, can take in these sights from your sixth floor walkup
overlooking beautiful Columbus Ave. and 110th street in New York City. And that's $900 per person, friend, no matter how many share the apartment with you. Trust me that I know. And when I say you, too may have this view, I mean literally, since my son is moving closer to campus next year. Place your reservations now. :)

I sympathize with you
that is an enormous amount for the apartment
I hope the college fees are not what they are over here and somehow the cost of the apartment will balance what they could have been, expensive and all as it is.
the years will fly by

No need to feel sorry for me, Marie. I'm not the one paying. See below for that honor. But I'm, as proud as a father can be of a son. My youngest is off the the U. of Missouri next year, and he'll
be paying his own way, too. Thank the Lord for student loans. All I can contribute is $10 a week to
the mega millions lottery.

I'd like to see whats at the bottom of that light shaft. Actually, nevermind. I see enough of these in the old buildings i go through. Not a pretty picture.

Years (many) ago, when my daughter was at Boston University, the story was that you could buy your student an apartment when he/she was a freshman and sell it for enough profit when they graduated to cover all four year's college expenses. I couldn't afford to find out if that was true or not. :(

Sorry, jgbeam, no retractions allowed here. :) You're right, not pretty. The building next door with
no back wall was also pretty 'interesting." But, actually, I love N.Y.C. for just these types of attractions. I like stuff that's different, and N.Y. definitely fits that bill. I'll have to ask son Luke
if he's considered selling his apartment, although I'm pretty sure he didn't buy his right to move into it.

Thanks for the nice comments, Marie. There's a bit of symbolism to that picture of Luke
that is easy enough to see through the eyes of a father-or I should say a parent.

[rick barclay]

Well, for your sake, I hope he is the answer, stoney. Good luck with your payments.

Pretty clean down there, Rick. You can actually see the bottom of the shaft and, furthermore, the drain seems to be working. Wonder if that receiver still works. Nah, probably didn't survive the fall... Those bars...attempted break in? Break out? :confused:

The more I look at these . . . the more I am starting to like them. Color and texture have a certain draw for me, but then I don't get out much. Nice shots.

[rick barclay]

Thanks. The most mundane shots seem to get the best responses. I know we all take great pride
in the photos we shoot. I sit and look at my shots for hours at a time wondering if the image
I'm laboring over will garner any interest here and elsewhere. Your responses make it all worthwhile.
