New York Calling
The eternal debate: old New York versus new. Few people remember the air of constant menace in the 1970s. But also the creative drive to make something out of nothing. On the other hand today's New York is rich, boring and (the greatest insult of all) unoriginal. As one author says in here, "if NYC is becoming Cleveland on the Hudson, why is it necessary to live there?" It's not quite that bad yet, but it has lost much of the old spark. It would seem that New York was once full of people with not so much money but lots of creativity, and is now the opposite.
