Yes, Its great!
I can drive from my house to Devon ave and not have to go through a single armed checkpoint.

There`s no WALL and no one has to sew yellow identification markers or carry their modern equivilent of Flourescent orange Identity cards.

I can eat at Pitta Inn with my fellow Christian and Jewish Americans or I can go further east and have Biryani with my Muslim and Hindu brothers.
