Hey, Kazoo
Maybe "frightened" is not the right word, but he is hearing from New Yorkers...and Brooklynites.
Both our kids live in Brooklyn, work in Manhattan, and we see a lot of shock, numbness, a sense of loss...leading to anger on the part of some but still just shock from many. Especially young people just starting out. Some New Yorkers, tough as they are, may need help getting their emotional lives back together. That doesn't make them not true New Yorkers.
Let's just hope everyone gets the kind of help they need.
