Fire escapes

I find fire escapes very romantic, my friend thinks I am crazy (and that they are uncomfortable-what that has to do with anything I am not sure) but I find them very cool. Especailly the ones with the decrotive iron on old fashioned apartment buildings. Which reminds me of another think I love, old apartment buildings. Especially the ones with drapes in the window, that move in the breeze. There is something so old fashioned and simple about drapes blowing out an open window. Call me crazy but this is one of the reasons I love Manhattan. I love the old and the new next to each other. I love the little cafes, and the corner stores. I love the starbucks and the gaps on every corner. I love time square and the upper west side, the lower east side and soho. I love skyscrapers and brownstones. I love wandering around the streets that you really can't get lost in. The city is so full of attitude and charm. Noisy streets and quite corners.
side note: I am getting my laptop tomorrow, yay.
