Reply #25: What I Meant Was [View All]

I certainly did NOT mean to define New York as the period when the city was bankrupt or when crime was terrible.

New York to me is a city of enormous creativity.

Times Square, for instance, used to be sleazy, but walking through Times Square was an experience I'll never forget -- I could feel the creativity of New York City.

Now Times Square is almost like "Any Mall USA" -- except that it has flashier signs.

Same with the subways back then -- they pulsed with the creative spirit of the people of New York. Now, they are silver, clean, and sterile.

In My Opinion.
