...and Will, a reader in Savannah, sends in the following. He writes, "1970s NYC, recreated next to Paula Deen's downtown restaurant. All cringing from that aside, I would say this looks pretty cool!"
Before we know it, the real New York will be a Synechdoche New York, existing only on sound stages and recreations in other cities. What will remain in the real New York?
