Henry, 171 W 71 St




Henry was born in San Francisco, Dominican Republic. He came to New York 26 years ago and has been working in the same building for 8 years.

People from his building are gentle and friendly, although he thinks it is important to maintain a certain distance between him and them. His best times as a doorman are spent whith his colleagues, when they all have breakfast or dinner together.

Job opportunities are great, but the City is not clean enough. His home is in Brooklyn, in a nice and green neighborhood, where he feels out of the city. He likes living there because there are not any high buildings.
If he had to move somewhere, it would be to Florida, for the sunny weather and the open spaces.

After he retires, he wants to go back to his first business : his clothing store.
