Catch as Catch Can Inherit the Wind

Because I wish to know the extent and “gravity” of what happened at 9 East 71st Street, I wish to know the location, and the location of the location, of 9 East 71st Street.

I can easily and conventionally, and without controversy or contradiction, establish the location this way:

-9 East 71st Street is in Manhattan. Manhattan is coextensive with New York County.

-Manhattan, (New York County), is in the state of New York. (New York is in New York!)

-New York State is in the USA.

Please note:

These “locations” placing 9 East 71st Street–putting 9 East 71st Street in its place– are POLITICAL. Manhattan, being coextensive with New York County, means Manhattan is defined politically. Manhattan’s location is defined politically. The geographical Manhattan is political. The dirt and flint is political. The gorgeous currents of converging “Hudson” rivers are political, as a remembrance and remonstrance to the Dutch, God bless their souls.
