The year of 2013 is winding down and I hope that I see it off with a bang.

This weekend is the annual Christmas party and I have spent the evening preparing for the trip that I have organized on Saturday during the day. One of my hobbies is collecting little tidbits of information about New York buildings,  practically every building has a story attached to it. This Saturday I am going to be conducting a tour of a small section of New York where I will be sharing some of the knowledge that I have. This is something that I have devoted a lot of time to preparing and I’m only about halfway done as it is.

There is a small problem that I am trying to navigate,  getting from Union Square to 9th St and finding the most interesting route to get there. The bulk of the tour happens before Union Square,  but not only for a historic reason must I finish on 9th St,  but it is for a personal reason as well. Something happened in 1987 that affected me deeply,  so much so that in 1988 on a trip home to England,  I remember reading a story of the little girl and I started crying on the plane. Me,  a tattooed bruiser with a Mohawk,  lol. Well the last leg of the tour will be to a house with a long history,  and I will also be able to leave a flower for the girl who also once lived in this house.

There are so many fascinating places that I am going to show people and I’m really excited to have this pre spanking jaunt,  they have no idea of the history that awaits them. Is the picture below included in the tour? Everyone going will find out on the second stop 🙂
