There is a naivate

Girls come to the city

(Boys enter the house)

They come they come

fresh from the midwest, with the best cynical face they can put on

Trying to stay open and judgemental

The tyranny of taste, keep up or reject it, but you cannot ignore it.

All with short hair, cute short hair.

A smarter version of themselves from back home.

NYC as a Time Travel Mechanism

Walking by a (de)struction site, you can smell 1963.

Or at least the smell of decay and generations of inhabitants.

There are many buildings, like people, who have seen better days, and other ones with newfound (and probably temporary) wealth.

There are museums, for those that want to travel officially and a lot more corners and people who have not been discovered.

The archeological digs may require a shovel, or a conversation.

It is up to you to find all the time capsules.

Thoroughly Modern Millie

What kind of production has Chinese supertitles?

Chinglish by David Henry Hwang?

Yes, the first major Bway production (drama) that has Chinese spoken onstage.

The first musical has a strong series of Chinese stereotypes.

Pity, because it's the epitome of the "naive yet determined young girl going to the city".  Other shows include Wonderful Town. And LOTS of Buster Keaton & Harold Lloyd comedies.

Cabaret

Funny how we all believed that Stanton & Ludlow was the center of the world.

We were all deeply embedded in the idea of the glory of backstage. Some of us were beautiful and wanted the spotlight, some of us were shy and could pass for cute.

Everything was a Caberet, and since we couldn't afford to buy things and enjoy them sitting at the bar, we worked on the other side and embezzled whenever we could.

It was history not repeating itself, but rythming. A beautiful group of young kids, like in Berlin 1931. 

We were there in the late 90's.

Before the turn of the century.

Before 9/11.

Yard Sales & Imagining NYC

Albums:

And then the New Yorker & NYTimes, to be read in an urbane manner.

In a rich apartment, overlooking the river.

Thoreau in NYC

"It's a great place to live, but I wouldn't want to visit there"

He was on Staten Island, living with Emerson's Brother & tutoring his kid (story there!!)

You can always see home more clearly when you are away from it.

And the city is too hectic to visit, just for a day.
