Description: Laurie Pollock and her husband were ready for change. Their sons were long gone from their seven-room Upper West Side co-op, which was beginning to feel too quiet. “We have a family saying: Drive a truck across Africa. It stands in for adventure,†Laurie (pictured) explains. “We’ve been working hard all these yearsâ€â€”raising children, building careers—“and we want to drive a truck across Africa. And we want to do it without leaving New York.†They considered moving downtown, where they lived decades ago, “but the Village we left wasn’t there anymore.†So they took the next, maybe-not-so-logical step: Move to Williamsburg.
