[...] I can appreciate an active music scene (provided it is mostly classical music), but if cost of living doesn't matter, I would just as soon live in a nice large apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. When you get to be my age, cycling becomes quite unimportant. Even if cycling is unimportant, for me, climate isn't. I need warm and dry. NY is cold and wet and besides, I hate the upper east side. You couldn't pay me to live in Manhattan anymore. I don't think New Yorkers (the kind that live on the Upper East Side) are much into anything out of doors. They only come out of their dwellings at night in order to take in shows and other cultural entertainments. Their whole idea of nature is Central Park. I suspect Jeff is West Side (West End Ave. no doubt). It is still an impressive area, but it has seen better days. Even back in the 60's, it was getting run down. Again, if money is no object, why not live at the Waldorf Astoria like Nixon did, although the Plaza is better located. When I last lived in New York City (Brooklyn), I was never even conscious of the weather. The TV stations here in Minnesota sometimes spend 10 minutes on the weather. In New York City the weather was hardly even mentioned on the local TV stations. Why bother since everyone is always indoors anyway except for brief scurries for taxis or to the subway stations.
