A Manhattan Ghost Story
“ I had walked a good distance on Lexington Avenue.
To my left, on my side of the street, and stretching to Park Avenue, stood a row of typical East 80s townhouses. They were four stories high, with tall, narrow windows, and they were painted variously gray, white, and blue. One, near the middle of the block, was a light shade of orange. Each townhouse had a set of concrete steps, and all of these were of the same length. Most of the steps had a black iron railing attached. In front of the ...townhouses, between the nicely kept sidewalk and the street, there were a number of young trees surrounded by circular fences, approximately one tree for every two houses. None of the trees was more than ten feet tall; they looked like the results of a recent block beautification program.
The other side of the street was almost a carbon copy of my side, except that there was no light orange house, and a good tenth of the block, directly opposite me, was taken up by a square, two-story, red brick building.MoreLess
