Jim, do you live close to where the annual Tennis Tounament is being held now?

By local standard, no, not close at all. It's at the extreme other end of the country.
By international standards, yes, very close: about a 50 minute walk. Monaco is about 2.1 miles long tip to tip. Central Park in NYC is about 2.5 miles long.

The tournament creates quite the traffic chaos, but that's life. Not as bad as the F1.
I did attend once, some years ago. There was even an exhibition game between the prince and one of the all time greats. I was impressed that the prince managed a pretty creditable showing.

I can see Jim wearing his Maui Jims with backpack on his fancy electric scooter smiling as he efficiently negotiates some back roads & zips by the traffic 😉

Monaco is about 2.1 miles long tip to tip. Central Park in NYC is about 2.5 miles long.

And Monaco has an area of 2.08 km˛ (0.80 mi˛) while Central Park has an area of 3.41 km˛ (1.317 mi˛) (all according to WikiPedia). So Monaco would fit nicely within Central Park (ok, some bits would have to be carved off and moved around :-) ).

Found the outline of Monaco overlaid on a map of Central Park: https://i.imgur.com/KUJcXwT.png.

More important (as to the best of my knowledge they don't drive (yet) in Central Park): How much Jim charges to watch F1 from his balcony - and how much discount fellow BRKler get!

I'm not really a backpack kind of person. But if I were, surely it would be by Detlev Louis?

For sunglasses, I think I'd go for the Renauld Rossano. As in the first couple of minutes of the original Italian Job.

Sorry, no view from my place : )
I did host a couple of friends one time, including crashing at my place, but never again. I. Just. Can't. Party. That. Hard. Any. More.

One shouldn't mix "F1" and "crashing at my place" in the same post. :-)
