Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Another photo of Chelsea

Unlike Hell's Kitchen which we posted about two weeks ago, NYC's Chelsea neighborhood has been on the gentrification upswing for over 30 years.

Now, it's as pleasant and cheerful as any neighborhood in the city. While it's known as a heavily gay area, it seems just more youthful than anything else. Tons of young professionals, and cozy 1800s townhouses. A darn civilized place to live in.

A street scene, last weekend:

Ah, Chelsea... home of Red Mafia redevelopment and compromised banks... the neighborhood BCCI first looked at to find as home... so beautiful on the outside, so much red money in the current gentrification...

I don't see any gay people in that picture.

For all the people walking around, I thought it was odd that my random snapshot was devoid of humans.

Perhaps the area is populated with vampires

There were plenty of folks around, non-vampires. Just snapped the shot at the wrong moment, I guess.
