So I go all the way back up to the west side.
I come all the way down.
And we're saying, wow, this is nice.
It's all money, brownstones, high-end stores.
Finally, I go around 85th Street, and I find a firehouse.
And I got my uniform on, and they tell you to not always knock on the door and say, probationary firefighter, Bonfiglio.
This old guy answers the door.
What can I do for you, probie?
He knew right away I was a probie just by looking at me with the stuff on.
I said, I'm looking for my firehouse, 34 truck.
They said it's on 84th Street.
He's like, wow, let me look at that.
He's like, dude, you're in with 84 engine and you're on 161st Street.
I had to get in the car and tell my wife we got to go up to 100.
And now we left the glitz and now we're in this freaking rundown neighborhood.
It was like, holy shit.
