Cold snap overnight, sent temperature down into the upper 20's in some of the outer suburbs in the hills of Northern New Jersey and adjacent NY State... about 40 in the city.
The next day , people had abandoned their summer clothes they had started to wear for something warmer ( by the way, it was broiling in Chicago that day, new weird weather has big contrasting air masses over different parts of the country a lot)...
Reminded too just how many old people live in this neighborhood, and people in wheelchairs..endless parade of mostly old women with walkers and old couples holding on to each other as they trudge along carefully....most of them as noted in old rent stabilized apartments...some with care givers and many in wheelchairs.
Then of course there are all the kids of the Yuppies and their nannies around too...so you could get a real age mix around here.
