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