brooklyn, bronx, and.......

saw part of Natalie's scene on the legally blonde mtv thing----she is great, great dancer, but the whole thing......shows you how far we have come from the 40's, where I began. Anyway, yesterday, found myself standing outside Aunt Lil's old apartment house, where we would visit her on the holidays and make that long trip from the Bronx. Really liked walking around there, still is something very different about the neighborhood----apart, you know. Also travelled on the 13 bus to the Bronx, down Ogden avenue, to outside "new" Yankee Stadium---which, ironically enough, is right accross the street from apartment houses, wonder what that means, the current Stadium isolated from the neighborhod by the highways to the west and the subway to the east---no such isolation here, the people living across the street will see people walking to and from the stadium. Ramifications....? Will Yankee execs want to live there...? Higher rent prices, greater land values.....who benefits, how much change...and for who....? That is the question. Meanwhile "art" gets more ludicrous and the gap between certain kinds of art grows wider and wider. See what happens tonight at Some Americans Abroad...rest of the day kind of quiet...not that much baseball, we'll see......
