A unique experience

64 years ago, while I was still single, I roomed at a home at 120 West 62nd Terrace in Brookside. I frequently ate dinner at a small restaurant, just one half block south, on Brookside Terrace. Now the Brookside Market stands where the rooming house was located. The small restaurant is no longer there, but just one half block farther south on 63rd Street now exists Sharp's Restaurant. Last night, Jan being out of town, I had dinner at Sharp's. I was luckily seated by a big window overlooking 63rd Street. I had time to reminisce. I had a strange feeling--following my footsteps of old--but seemingly in another world. I saw many people go by, walking , running, biking and by car. But I probably saw no one that was alive 64 year ago.
