Many of 
you will recall former Chelsea Hotel resident Nguyen as the nice young man who helped tourists to their rooms, lighting their way with candles, during the blackout in 2003. Others will recall some of his darker deeds. Apparently his fascination with candles is an on going thing. Nguyen was recently arrested while attempting to steal two candlesticks valued at $52,000. Perhaps he was just getting ready for the next big blackout.

Hi, Mr. Hamilton!
I thought I was going to make just a quick visit to your blog, after I read Jeff Giles’ critique in the NYT Book Review, but it turned into an extended stay. Great blog, great stories, great sense of feeling. I’m going to add a link to your blog on My Bad Girl Blog.
Cheers, Joyce H.
P.S. If you get really fed up with the gentrification of Manhattan, come to Brooklyn! There’s still plenty of evidence in my neighborhood of old New York.LikeLike
