I am evidently much older than you. I go back to the 50s and 60s at the Commodore. She was already a bit tarnished, but boy did we kids love to go there and eat jujubeans (??) and popcorn. I saw such gems as JOAN OF ARC — two versions, the great one with Ingrid Bergman and the later one with Jean Seberg. I saw the first 3-D presentation of HOUSE OF WAX there, with our two-color glasses, and losts of screams in the house.
Yeah, the yuppies and developers aren’t happy enough that they’ve taken EVERYTHING of interest, joy and happiness/uniqueness out of manhattan, now they’re going to destroy the boroughs. What a horrible pity. And after it’s all over, finally people might realize what they’ve lost — when it’s too late. I hope they enjoy their i-pods and latte (grande, of course) from the ubiquitous starbucks — it’s about all they have. they can’t even imagine what they’re missing.
