73rd St. In DR, Kl’d and Shaz. were walking around separately and only momentarily talked to one another. I think K. asked “What’s that smell?” As I was exiting, was that former DR worker J’an (666) I saw outside walking? Transformation of سبزی ਮੰਡੀ into east wing of اپنا بازار (‎4904–10). Encountered N’son R. between 37th Ave. and 37th Rd. and we hugged but were each headed to meet a friend.

State of the former Cheng’s, First Ave. (4911–14). | State of the former Wally’s and Themed R’rants, E. 2nd St. (4915–18).

Ave. A (4919–22). The former Gracefully (4919–21). Fingerspelling awning (4922). Repast with جم at Оде́са. Good conversation but not food: flat Hamburger patty I asked to be medium was well done, broccoli was overcooked, and something I ate necessitated my rushing to their bathroom at meal’s end.

Nice long conversation at S’sant Town fountain (4923–25) until rain started to fall, at which point he brought me to his apartment and I briefly met his roommate. He showed me old documents from Turkey, including his בר מצוה video with rock‐band מנורה.
