Hi, all, hi, Adam,

Thanks for the corrections, Adam - that's the map I'm
talking about! Here's a view:

I also like the New Yorker cover of the 'stans'-

It's no doubt equally true that we in the 'rest of the
country' don't understand the microcosm of New York
City terribly well, either. My apologies on getting
the location of your garden wrong. The family of _the_
Dewitt Clinton? Honestly!

As for reading questions carefully, point well taken.
Tu as raison, mon frere, c'est toujours bien vrai.

That said, I hope our scholar broadens his community
gardening reading to include places outside New York
City, such as the book you recommended about Boston.
If nothing else, looking at other communities shows
what astounding things New York community gardeners
have accomplished.  When ACGA met in NYC, the garden
tours were truly inspiring.

Speaking of Clintons, I hear your junior senator is
running for president. She's a Jersey girl, no? Any
idea of where she stands on community gardening?
