Expedition to the South Bronx and Spanish Harlem

Pointed the car north to the South Bronx this morning to crawl through the exotic wood warehouse of Rosenzweig Lumber. Walked the corridors surrounded by planks of zebra wood, weng, mahogany, bass, walnut and cherry and chose a selection of walnut for its strength, affordability and dark wood grained expressions. We hauled the wood next door to Jose, master carpenter of the South Bronx to cut and join and rip and round the wood into a workbench. Lunch was a dark wooden spot for the truck drivers, police officers and EMTS that found their way to this short order cook and gravy haven that may have been called Mary L's.
Harlem was on the way home with a terrifying walk through Demolition Depot, being chased by the house cat, and wondering if the building crammed full of artifacts would collapse any second (like their former location "Irreplacable Artifacts" actually did.
