I am a native in this world And think in it as a native thinks

Jumping back several decades
This is 570 Lexington, an ordinary office building in Midtown East.
It also happens to be a fine example of Art Deco, like so many buildings in this part of Manhattan. I'd never seen it before, though, never known that there was any reason to go inside. But the lobby was on the Open House tour and it was a short, if unexpectedly chilly, walk up from Grand Central, where the bus from the airport had dropped me off.
