Gotham Scooter Rally, Williamsburg, Chinatown and more - NYC 05

I attended the Gotham scooter rally in NYC in May, 2005. I stayed with friends Simon and Sondra in Williamsburg Brooklyn and met up with fellow Michigander and Paw Pawn Joseph X. Burke for a walking tour of northern Williamsburg, some of Queensbridge, Roosevelt Island, Midtown Manhattan and Chinatown NY. Great times in an amazing city, thanks to all involved.

	There's no place I've ever been that looks or feels quite like New York.

	New York's crappy housing stock is somehow more interesting than Chicago's, even with vinyl siding (the ultimate sin).
