No one will ever invent a better pillow than your true love's bosom.

Pre- Giuliani New York

Yep.

I visited NYC dozens of times in the 70s and 80s. After visiting for the grand re-opening of the Statue of Liberty in 1986, I vowed I would not return for at least a decade. The place had really gone down the sewer. Drug dealers, hookers, and gun dealers operating in the open around Times Square with cops standing right there. In Washington Square Park, I saw a drug dealer grab a little kid pedaling by on a bike, trying to sell drugs to the kid. I found myself wishing I had an Uzi so I could do some housecleaning.

I returned in 1999. What an amazing transformation!

There was a giant Disney store right where the hookers and dealers and porn shops used to operate. Talk about a symbolic representation of change. Wow!

Nevertheless, that is a beautiful photo. The kid is trying to change the destination, and the mother is literally holding the whole family/society together.
