The Random Red Door

By Peter Dean Rickards • Jul 3rd, 2008 • Category: Features

Standing near the intersection of Church and Chambers street in Manhattan, I noticed a bright brick wall and a old door that obviously hadn’t been used in years. It’s about 6 in the afternoon and the sun is going down, casting shadows on everything, except for the red door and about ten feet of sidewalk […]
