Flat Stanley visits New York City

Flat Stanley had a great time visiting New York City.  Larry was a great host to him while visiting.  Larry lives in an apartment on the 6^th floor and this was the highest the Flat Stanley had ever been!  The building though is 35 stories high.  An interesting fact is that each floor has 10 apartments and this one apartment building has about the same number of people that live in it as Atkinson! 

Stanley was amazed when he went to the roof of the building he found trees and grass planted on top of it.  This is also where people can sit in chairs and sun bathe in the summer.  Stanley also enjoyed visiting the swimming people that is on the 35^th floor. 

Larry doesn’t own a car so Stanley was able to get around New York City by subway, taxi, or walking.  Stanley went on subway ride which was really exciting.  A subway is like a train that is mostly underground.  Stanley attended many different events that included different artists.  Larry is an artist and had an exhibit several years ago at the Museum of Nebraska Art, in Kearney, Nebraska.  This was neat to read because he has ties to Nebraska. 

Stanley enjoyed his time in New York and says that there are many things to see and do there and maybe one day we will get a chance to visit. 

We want to extend a huge thank you to Larry for showing Flat Stanley around!  He was able to explore lots of the city and we learned many things. 

 Excited to receive Flat Stanley from his Uncle Larry!

 Got onto a crowded train car.

 

 On the way back, not as crowded, there was room to sit down.
