"during the constuction of lincoln center....and destroyed entire working class neighborhoods..."

The Lincoln Center area was not a working class neighborhood. It was a slum.

Here's a hint: they shot a lot of Westside Story on those blocks.

... America's first auto accident took place here in 1896 (the driver was from Massachusetts) ...

A 110 year old tradition. Wow!

Are you working near Prudhoe Bay? In the oil business? Quite a change from NYC, isn't it?

Nah, I'm in a little village along the Yukon River. Beautiful place. Clean air, clean (but muddy) water. Great place to raise kids. I still go back to the city once every few years to breathe in the memory of soot, bagels, and steam vents. Then I come back home.

Congratulations. But how do you make a living in a place like that? It's too far north to farm or ranch, isn't it? (Well, a reindeer ranch, maybe?)
