I just wish there was one little section to remind me of the older days.
As you get older you'll learn that you can never go back.
That's exactly right. That's the main reason I get a little impatient with younger people here when they start to lament the fact that "Old New York" is gone.
Because, first of all, they've never even seen it. And second of all, it's like SC says, the realization that you can't "go back" only comes with the passing of time.
It's really about aging and loss in general. Not just about yearning for the "old neighborhood."
