I so look forward to your columns! My fav was your story about “Dangerfield’s”. I just couldn’t stop reading it! Magnificent story and sad ending to a once hoppin’ joint. I was born in the Comedy Borscht Belt of the Catskills and remember so many famous comedians coming there in the mid to late ‘60’s. It was a great time!
The book I’m most excited about though is, “You’re Not a Real New Yorker Until...” I’m a 10th generation New Yorker (they settled New Amsterdam in the 1600’s!) and that will go to a majority of my family.
Thank you for presenting and sharing these curated perspectives in this media and medium overwhelming dizzying fore hose crowd control "information?!!" highway era. I checked out before tentatively trying substack. Until inexorably will probably go the way of the dodo, like most extinctions ( the way of the Netscape paced the way to the new fast re ( cycles).
The inestimable humorist Jean Kerr said there should be a test for parents, just as for a driver’s license. To paraphrase, if a couple could survive a weekend in a fourth floor walk up cold water flat with three kids under the age of six (all with colds), and an unhouse broken puppy, and remain together, they should get a license.
I loved the Boxcar Children when I was a kid!

Keep up the great work! It highlights my week.
