I can certainly say you've crafted quite an establishment, and that personal care and kindness has not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. Thank you for offering this safe little haven in the city.

My experience there was so full of overt homophobia - something I never experienced before, and never really believed I would experience. I left, found a job elsewhere, but the experienced changed me for both better and also, I suppose for worse. I found comfort in you Mr. McNally. I fantasized many many times about writing you a letter of my time in corpus crhsit. I am a little embarassed to say I felt, and still do, that I want to write you a letter, tell you of that time, and for you to simply say 'Yes, I get it. They were wrong".

It's thrilling to know that Mrs. Madrigal helped to inspire one of Chelsea's most treasured institutions. There's been many a time when I've wished someone would tape a joint to my door in NYC -- so now I know where to go. (Just kidding, Mr. Bloomberg) Thanks for making me feel part of your rich history by telling this tale of Sheldon's dream. May Chelsea Pines continue to thrive and bring joy to the free spirits who are lucky enough to discover it. Warm regards, Armistead Hi Jay,
