I usually make it a point to walk or drive by 67 Dove St. on the anniversary of Legs's death. Sadly, I missed the opportunity this year, as I was away on business yesterday. The up side is that I got to visit NY's Little Siberia. True to form, it was very cold.
Been awhile since I've been there myself. Would be fun to spend the night on the anniversary.
