Were you standing next to the stone wall surrounding the Mount Vernon Hotel Museum, formerly known as the Abigail Adams Smith Museum on E. 61st St?
Welcome back, Gary--that's some guess! It's a wrong guess, but it's impressive nonetheless--so thank you!
Well if Gary's playing then count me in! Were you at the Stonewall bar on Christopher Street?
No, Debbie, I wasn't there. That must've been someone else who looks like me.
Manhattan?
Yes, Manhattan. How could you tell?
Riverside Park?
The Potato Famine memorial in Hudson River Park?
Is this a retaining wall on the west side?
Good guess, Gary...but so far Scott is the warmest.
And I should have mentioned this before: specificity will count.
Is this part of the retaining wall that still stands at Castle Village on Cabrini in the 180's? Of course the other half of the wall collapsed a couple of years back and slid onto the Henry Hudson Pkwy.
No, Dolph--it's not a retaining wall.
I'm sorry if I inadvertently misled with my previous response....
Were you at or near the Cloisters?
Sorry, Dolph--not this time!
were you above 110th St?
Sorry, Gary--not this time!
Is this in Central Park?
Yes it is, Debbie.
Is it in back of those gardens on the east side in the 100s?
Another good guess, Scott--but no.
Belvedere Castle?
No, Debbie--sorry!
Near the tennis courts just south of the North Meadow?
Blockhouse?
You said to be specific, so do i need to say blockhouse #1?
Gary is right--and I am relieved!
I am relieved because I had given Gary a "no" answer when he asked if I had been above 110th Street. I was correct because Blockhouse #1 is south of 110th Street...but in a way that wasn't the whole truth because the little fort overlooks 110th Street--something that's actually easy to see at this particular time of year due to the seasonal foliage in the northwest "wilds" of Central Park.
If you haven't been to Blockhouse #1, pay it a visit and see the city from a new perspective. It's Number One!
