i am going on 21 years here in manhattan,
2 years before that in paris, france
and i have been spending more
and more time in london and los angeles
nyc is not the town it was
very corporate
very safe
very dull
the observed are all gone
and the observers are walking around, awkward,
under the impression that they are special....
not the wild,
island off the coast
of america that it was
20 years ago
london is a novelty, 25 years after
my first trip to that city....
to me, l.a. has an
infinitely larger sense
of bohemia
l.a. is also the culinary capital
of the world in my opinion -
one eats better in l.a. than nyc, london and paris
put together - in every price bracket
i am curious about buenos aires and other south american cities:
high real estate values and culture are mutually exclusive things
south america is what will define culture in the next twenty years,
i believe
culture needs bohemia and freaks.....
be well
- jack
