It’s why ideally I would like to learn the history of every building that I walk by, just as I’d like to know the types of trees I pass on every block (a good guess here is that they’re London Plane, or maybe Ginkgo).
We can have these daily relationships with various structures we don’t know anything about.
I was going to say: “about living in the city,” but I think it’s true everywhere the city just points it out more. That’s one of the funny things about living. (I’m almost always early – curse you mama for the way you raised me!) But what is this clock tower I stare at? I realized the other day that I had no idea. Riding into the city over the Williamsburg Bridge I’ll often glance at the clock tower that rises above Union Square, just to see how I’m doing on time.
