Everyone is Weird

"Whatever, it's New York. Everyone's weird."

Roots in New York

Third Avenue

"New York was a great place to live if you had roots there. If you were part of it. But some people weren't born for steel jungles and the fast-paced lifestyle and—let's face it—the cost of living. I used to love that I blended in what the crowd, that I was another face among faces, another writer chasing their dreams in the neighborhood coffee shop. But the longer I lived there, the more gum littered the sidewalk and rust crept in."
Ashley Poston, The Dead Romantics

Chameleon of a City

Bowery

"It seemed like New York was changing every time I blinked. One way one moment, and then completely different the next—a chameleon of a city that never fit into one box, that never clung to one descriptor. It was always something new, something exciting, something never before seen."
Ashley Poston, The Dead Romantics
