One of the guys in our writing room lived near Park Slope. How awesome that you still own a building! The brownstone sounds ideal. Before the city changed that was my dream, to live in one of those brownstones. I think it'll come back around but I'm not sure how long it'll take.
Thank you! I feel the same way, when it's meant to be, it will be. Maybe I'll have a garden by next summer. : )
