Great writing with great formatting (often flies under the radar)! Also love the "Line Level"... slowly becoming the go-to line expert in the city. I remember going to the Greenpoint Radio about a year ago and I thought the hype would have died down by now.... you should write a piece on how long it takes for lines to die down and why.
