I lived on Riverside Dr and 112 st at the time of this narrative. the guy gets all the details right from the radiators to the startling quiet after snows to Toms and the West End.
I don’t know if he gets the stuff about Obama right...
The problem with the college narrative is that this guy claiming to know Obama is the only one from that class who ever knew or heard of the guy...that is my problem with the narrative is that he claims that he and obama went to columbia college—why?
Everyone at the college knew each other. there have been many postings here at free republic about columbia alumni who attend alumni meetings who knew everyone in the class—yet no one knew of obama.
It would be more likely that Obama and this guy went to the school of general studies—where no one knew each other.
Yet that’s not what he says.
Columbia has 7000 undergrads. I find it hard to believe that everyone knew everyone.
