Some said NYC in the 1970s, especially in the mid-70s, was like the Wild Wild West. I was fortunate to see a bit of that seediness more than 20 years ago in my first trip (so far) to the city where I even got a glimpse of CBGB's and all of those record stores. Now that city is just a fuckin' bore.<br /><br />Yeah, I was trying to see if that hotel still existed after seeing the film and when I read what is now... that hurt. It's probably not that interesting to look at. When something was extraordinary and was its own thing then becomes ordinary. That's when things go wrong. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-61435837997676299162016-03-16T10:06:04.658-07:002016-03-16T10:06:04.658-07:00I think my heart broke a bit when you called it a ...I think my heart broke a bit when you called it a Days Inn now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
