Selling My Books on the Streets of Brooklyn 6/4

It was another gloomy day in Brooklyn, although again there has not been more than a mist that doesn't even wet the sidewalks and streets. Several people stopped by at the viaduct, but no one bought. Perhaps the selection was too limited. I'm able to carry only two-thirds of my wares to that location. The highlight of the session was seeing lovely young Mariana in her junior high cap and gown. Congratulations, young lady, and good luck in high school.
I was just listening to the Steve Malzberg Show while chowing down on a couple of slices from Delmar. He interviewed a woman who is the spokesperson for the Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church at Ground Zero, which was destroyed when Tower Two collapsed. Fortunately, no one was in it at the time. All that was left were a few artifacts. The church was established in 1916 by shipping magnates. Although I never visited, I remember it well, as I frequently passed it during lunch from 1983-1997 when the Exchange was located at Four World Trade Center. There has been no effort on the part of politicians to have it rebuilt, which is an outrage, especially in light of how many are bending over backward to accommodate Muslims who wish to build a mosque one block from Ground Zero. There will be a rally tomorrow in downtown Manhattan to bring the issue to light.
