Upper West Side Apartment Window & Fire Escape
Why are you reporting this puzzle?
Happy memories of staying in such an apartment while doing work at the UN down at the southern end of the island of Manhattan. I was there in February and June, during most of the 1980s. Remember well walking back up to the upper West side, after dark on warm summer June evenings. New York had a reputation for danger back then. . . but I was undaunted. . . and of course in the company of my friend -a strong/brash NYC woman!
But of course, the best thing about such apartment BLOCKS is that they open up like this one, with a window to a shared space between the buildings, and the sounds that would swirl around at night and become you lullaby might include: violin or saxophone practice. . . or someone singing Opera . . . or sirens. . . all of it becoming a soothing cacaphony to keep you company.
Now I have cicadas, roosters and barking dogs. Life is sweet!
