We live in a diverse and fascinating neighborhood with such disparities between classes and we are part of the gentrifying group. Our neighborhood is comfortable and we love it even if and perhaps because it is not fancypants. We see this man frequently, this picture was taken on our block, and we park our car every day right where the photographer is standing. The amazing thing about this city is that although we "knew" this man by his face and pedi-cab, we had no idea that he actually gave rides in it, nor did we know any of his back story. You can read his whole story here, in the New York Times, how they knew to do a story on him is a mystery.
