12.14.09 - i lived in the west village for about three years right after 9/11. one of the reasons i was able to was because rents had plummeted in the area and pretty much all throughout downtown manhattan. thus, making it much more affordable for me and many others. i have fond memories of living in the neighborhood. there was always something to do, tons of interesting people, quaint shops and restaurants everywhere. the village also has such a rich social and political history and it was great to be surrounded by it. i rarely make my way over there lately but today i happen to be at a conference at the nyu kimmel center. here's a picture i snapped of washington square park, the arch, and 5th avenue.
