John Lennon

Sometimes I would get ice cream from a Haagen-Dazs that was at 72nd and Amersterdam. For some reason or another I’d just end up there and want ice cream. The quickest way to get home from there was to walk up to 72nd and Central Park west and get on the subway there. In between ice cream and subway is the Dakota, the apartment where John Lennon lived, and the place where he was shot, 25 years ago today. I’d get so sad walking past it, and I still get sad thinking about it.

    When I was in NYC as a little girl, I never saw the Dakota apt. building. We were there just a short time. It is truly tragic that some nothing jerk can snuff out a great person.
