My childhood apartment building is still there, but sadly it's now a designated Section 8 building managed by NYHA. Long gone are the hedges along the sidewalk, the stone sculptures and steps leading into the front courtyard, the furniture in the lobby, the stained glass over the front French-style entry doors. Now, there are imposing bars on all the ground-floor windows, gates across the entry courtyard, grafitti on the brick walls, and a large sign on the front stating, "STOP! This is not a trash dump site." Sigh...
