The Knife Guard Story

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

So, during my short trip back home, I went on a mini-adventure of sorts. I instinctively got on the 6 Train, though I wasn't sure why. And I instinctively got off at Bleecker Street. Again, I wasn't sure why. And I just walked. I was going to head over to Broadway, ...
