The movie is full of good energy, wooden acting, good or bad music depending on your taste, but it is also a time capsule of the freedom to be yourself in even a tough town like New York.

I bring my HS students from Milwaukee on a DC/NYC trip to get a first hand glimpse at politics and culture (many have not even been on a plane)...as the guides take them around it all seems to be explained in the past tense. Used to be an Irish Neighborhood, Bleeker St was especially depressing for me. I understand that change is inevitable and sometimes necessary, but a burrrough built by poor immigrants should still have some... no? I am no longer jealous of this place. There's still some character I suppose that will always remain...just feels kind of contrived and superficial...almost like a marketing ploy. I prefer my walkable and cheaper COMMUNITY in po dunk Milwaukee any day where we have community meetings people actually attend among other things. Additionally I teach some pretty poor children and the money around here now seems much more pervasive. I use Manhattan as a way to teach inequality now. It was actually angering to me to see the dickish wealth around here...sad business...our nations cultural mecca in decay...$$$$$$$$Edwin Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11523717069718769949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-83569615210329500172014-05-30T14:23:14.840-04:002014-05-30T14:23:14.840-04:00that was an antique district. sorry to see it go. ...that was an antique district. sorry to see it go. btw, 2nd or 3rd ave in the e.50's was an antique district too. most or all gone w/the wind. we are a fast food cell phone chaindrugstore froyo culture. laura r.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-43132107056505927982014-05-30T11:17:24.157-04:002014-05-30T11:17:24.157-04:00Also, nice shot of the old elevated Westside Highw...Also, nice shot of the old elevated Westside Highway before it was torn down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-20452148404834211782014-05-29T13:52:46.033-04:002014-05-29T13:52:46.033-04:00Speaking of antique stores, have you noticed that ...Speaking of antique stores, have you noticed that they're now all gone from Broadway below the Strand?
