open a new window, open a new door

This is a little West Village window with a big story behind it.  I heard it forty some years ago. I think one of Don’s friends masterminded the caper.  Maybe it was someone else's friend. Whoever it was decided he needed more light in his dingy place and what harm would it do to do what he did.  He took a hammer to his wall and created a modest window.  It remains there all these years later, thousands upon thousands of days of light entering a room that once upon a time was deemed too dark to accept.
