This is great. The book Accidental Playground traces this similar feeling of magic in an abandoned waterfront in NYC... but magic is necessarily temporary. Our job is to allow new magic to unfold instead of trying to preserve the fading magic of the past.
Love this piece. I’ve been thinking about Nostalgia like an auto-immune disease. In the right amounts, nostalgia is essential to protect who we are and what we care about. But it can misfire and start destroying the very urban fabric that made the nostalgia happen in the first place
I really love this piece; unfortunately for some reason I cannot restack it. I tried from my phone earlier, promised I'd try again from my desktop later, and it won't let me do it there either. Argh! There are some banger quotes in here that I want to lift up. Anyway: well done!

Lovely writing!
st James is Dead is also a great companion book to this piece.
