A My Private Coney project Flash non-fiction, brief moments and old memories of a city and mother's emotional and physical real estate disappearing at the speed of heartbreak.
MY PRIVATE CONEY presents IT WAS HER NEW YORK, the short stories that accompany the work-in-progress video and photo collection of the same name (myprivateconey.com - media link - IT WAS HER NEW YORK). The stories and the media explore the tender rubble that holds both my mother, Florence's and New York's soul as one disappears into old age and the other into gentrification. All are real observations and/or experiences with very little tall-tale telling.
Except when it makes the story better.

She looks like a really happy, hearty individual. Long may she ride.
I neglected to state that Dana is 88 years old.
god bless her!! and I need to get one of those cuddly furballs, but I make due with the friendly ones who guard my courtyard in the meantime.
I just love this photo and the sentiment... I couldn't agree more!
