Our golden city\u2019s tarnished<\/b> <\/p>\n
Back maybe 75 years when NYC was 18-karat gold in the USA:<\/p>\n
Stores had shoppers on all floors. Tiny TV sets presented \u201cJuvenile Jury\u201d followed by Steve Allen with Guy Lombardo. And Barbara Walters\u2019 showbiz father Lou\u2019s\u00a0B\u2019way\u00a0nightclub the Latin Quarter opened his new Parisian revue, \u201cThe Loveliest Girls in the World.\u201d Jackie Gleason was hustling Capitol Records\u2019 \u201cMusic to Make You Misty.\u201d Greta Garbo was moving into her East 52nd Street apartment. Yul Brynner did a stop-in at the Waldorf barber shop. Sutton Place\u2019s Anne Baxter watched the boats and barges trafficking the East River. Rosalind Russell, after starring in B\u2019way\u2019s \u201cWonderful Town,\u201d was shopping in Saks.<\/p>\n
Fly back to 1940s<\/b> <\/p>\n
My own old notes turned up notes about Sonja Henie\u2019s ice show at the Garden, Louis Prima and Keely Smith headlining the Paramount and thriving hotels like the Astor, Biltmore, Savoy-Plaza. Today, they\u2019re office buildings. And scratching through an old 1941 magazine cover flashed Mickey Rooney and Norma Shearer plus TWA\u2019s full page boasting \u201cfive daily fast flights to LA \u2014 only 13 hours and 40 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two cents on taxes<\/b> <\/p>\n
Today, I\u2019m asking: This New York to Jersey tunnel costing a fortune to dredge? How will NYC recoup that money?<\/p>\n
Also asking, to fund the\u00a0previously freezing homeless who refused shelters, an idea to help might be the maybes that Crapdammy will triple-tax New Yorkers who own sweaters.<\/p>\n
Why sweaters? He could then subsidize his large staff\u2019s wardrobe so he could manage to subsidize those free buses.<\/p>\n
To scrape up more money to help the homeless, our mayor will find that even secondhand has upped prices.<\/p>\n
A 1980 Sammy Davis Jr. puppet once cost $25. Now, sporting a tuxedo and wearing his Star of David pendant, Sammy is maybe $50.<\/p>\n
So now, if Crapdammy were to exit City Hall, he could almost be worth even more possibly than a 1980 Sammy Davis Jr. puppet.<\/p>\n
Miracle workers wanted\u00a0<\/b> <\/p>\n
Anyone else know\u00a0\u201cProject Hail Mary\u201d has\u00a0Ryan Gosling\u00a0playing a science teacher orbiting a space mission? He received his script during COVID-19. Ryan: \u201cAn opportunity to make my life\u2019s most epic theatrical experience \u2014 and everything including theaters were closed. The film\u2019s about the sun dying but shows we\u2019re capable of solving impossible problems. If we don\u2019t give up, miracles are possible.\u201d Yeah, right. Fake the sun. For a miracle let\u2019s try finding work for\u00a0Meghan Markle\u2019s unemployed prince whose sole occupation is spearing the family. And while you\u2019re at it, find work for Meghan. Nobody\u2019s hungering after her. Even CNN might turn her down.<\/p>\n
So when smart-ass Jasper married lovesick Theresa they moved into an old uptown flat. First furniture the husband brought home? A sewing machine and a full-length mirror. Lovingly, he said: \u201cYour choice. Take the sewing machine and go to work \u2014 or take the mirror and sit down to watch yourself starve.\u201d<\/p>\n
