Check out this week’s PS I Love You column by OTBKB friend and fave, Wendy Ponte:

Every time I pass by the Barnes & Noble on Seventh Avenue, I remember how I met my boyfriend there. Not the most romantic of meeting spots — I might have preferred the park, or maybe something a more literary like at a reading at the Old Stone House — but nonetheless it was our meeting place and so lovely a moment that the store is inextricably connected to our relationship in my memory.

After 14 years of living here, Park Slope is full of place memories for me — spots that are inextricably attached to a specific event. Around the New Year, I find myself thinking about them even more often.
