Coincidentally, yesterday I was in my old "Kingsbridge" neighborhood and took a nostalgic drive. The area encompassed Kingsbridge Road to the Reservoir and Sedgwick Avenue to University Avenue. WOW - while I have been driving through the old neighborhood through the years - the changes yesterday were dramatic. It was sadly unrecognizable. The beautiful mansions on Webb and Claflin Avenues are being replaced with modern office like buildings which stick out, like a sore thumb. I was stunned seeing, in my opinion, this ugly transformation, along with the total downslide in the upkeep and care of our old buildings and streets. A very sad day for me. BTW, after the thunderstorms yesterday, all I am seeing on the news this morning is the giant tree that went down on Claflin Avenue and 195th Street, which prompted me to write today.
