Esther Rosenfeld is an 86-year old Jewish lady from Bed-Stuy, a community within Brooklyn, NY. As her neighborhood has declined throughout the years with the introduction of drugs and gangland affairs, she has remained steadfast in her ideals and her love for her home. In her weekly REMAIN ALERT blog, she comments from her arm-chair on the state of the world around her as seen from her window, her television, and her subscription to the New York Times. These are the transcripts of the audio-tapes she is sending to our offices.

Greetings! My name is Esther Rosenfeld and I am a new writing feature on this web site. I am 86 years old and I reside in Brooklyn, New York.

The closest I've ever let myself get is an adding machine I used to have when I worked on the 70th floor of the Empire State Building. The year was 1944 if you can believe it! The airplanes, wow, they looked so big up -
Tape ends abruptly.
