485 CPW

Here is our building from across Central Park West, looking toward the west. The cross street here is 109th Street. Note the subway station at the lower right hand corner of the building. You might have to click on the photo to make it big enough to see, but you can see the subway sign for the B and C trains and the two round green lights showing it is a 24 hour station.
Another view of the building, showing both halves of it--the middle section is not really a courtyard in that we don't have access to it. The elevator for both halves of the building is in the middle. The black awning is the main entrance to both. We have a doorman from 2PM to midnight.
Here is the lobby of the building. This is where the Spring Lobby party was a few weeks ago. It is pretty and light and a nice place to walk in to! The doorman gives treats to dogs when they return from their walks, holds packages for people, helps us lift the bikes and scooters down the front steps and are all around great resources--there are two of them actually, Leonce and Jose. Maya and Jonah really like the doormen.
This is the view directly across the street from our building. It is so pretty and green and full of spring right now.

Oh, wow. This post and the one above really make me want to live in NYC at least once. Central Park, doormen... I've romanticized about that kind of thing more than once.

Oh, and your children are too cute for words.

Thanks for the vacuum cleaner recommendation.
