Local Color

Some friends are planning to move to Brooklyn, a borough of neighborhoods. Many apartment dwellers there socialize in rooftop settings. My first summer in New York our offices were located down in the Battery and most of the secretarial staff came in from Brooklyn on the subway. One Monday morning our secretary arrived bearing a considerable week-end sunburn the kind you might get out fishing on the water or at the local pool. When asked where she was she replied "Tar Beach".
That was the first time I learned of the rooftop activity in such heavily populated locations. It just proves "Ya gotta know the territory."
