Odds and Ends From New York in Paul Harrison’s Piece
In New York a humorous slice shows the Lincoln statue in Union Square hosting regular denunciations by a Communist group, a Fourteenth Street tailorshop, and an east side store boasting no price cuts. Lower Manhattan confuses visitors about subway directions and Coney Island’s true geography. The piece notes West New York’s truth in New Jersey, a Broadway Chinese restaurant, and odd rent claims on City Hall. The building, though, actually extends into a city tale about land ownership and peculiar claims.
