manhattan: September 11, 2001 - 9/11 - We must never forget!!!!! - 09/11/09 08:40 AM
Do you remember where you were when first hearing the news? What was your first thoughts? I still remember to this day, exactly where I was. I was at a red light, just about to make a left turn, about 500 yards from my office. My first thought was what kind of idiot would fly that close and hit a building. Was it a mistake? Did the pilot fall asleep? My mind was racing. As I drove up to the parking lot, there was another news flash that another plane just flew into the South Tower. At this time, … (17 comments)

manhattan: FAO Schwarz (A children's store) -- "Manhattan as a tourist" -- Part 5 of 5 -- Day 2 - 05/02/07 05:23 PM
As we leave Central Park, we tell the kids that we are off to FAO Schwarz. Of course the two older ones know all about this and let out a loud cheer. But one might wonder how we were able to get around so quickly and freely in Manhattan while visiting, Battery Park City, South Street Seaport (Pier 17), and Central Park. My brother-in-law took the liberty of getting us a limo for the whole day. It did make it easier for us to get around, instead of finding a place to park all of the time.
So we finally get … (9 comments)

manhattan: My Visit to New York City -- "Manhattan as a tourist" -- Part 1 of 5 -- Day 1 - 04/27/07 02:03 AM
So, here is my reason for a nice trip into New York City and Manhattan. It was my niece's First Holy Communion on April 21st, 2007. My sister and brother-in-law decided instead of a party for her, that they would allow her to pick something that she wanted to do. She wanted to go to NYC for the weekend. We decided that we would leave after Mass and go up for the weekend, coming back early Sunday evening. It was myself, my mom and dad, and my sister's family which included 2 boys and 2 girls. Yes, we took 2 vehicles … (14 comments)
