Some trivia:
[Quote]Elizabeth Montgomery and Lizzie Borden were sixth cousins once removed, both descending from 17th-century Massachusetts resident John Luther.

I am the blood curdling scream of a woman buried in the mix of "Love Rollercoaster" (here, around the 2:51 mark) and the urban legend that it was a woman killed and the recording picked it up by accident. Some more dramatic gaylings (aka moi) take this to heart and have nightmares involving a black woman wearing a yellow dress screaming as she is stabbed.
Gayling's mother tries to explain that recording booths are soundproof and don't pick up things but to no avail. To this day, nobody has ever explained just what it is if it isn't said murdered woman -- and why it was left on the track.

[quote]And what’s happening to New York now—what’s already happened to most of Manhattan, its core—is happening in every affluent American city (San Francisco, DC, Boston)
Plus, one of the biggest complaints of the author - the loss of the city's "soul" - is true of cities of all sizes all over the US. The local restaurants move out and McDonald's or Red Lobster come in, the Mom and Pop hardware store can't compete with Home Depot, etc. It's hardly a "New York" thing.

I loaded up the car and moved from NYC to L.A. with my boyfriend. I was 23. A friend moved there and was raving about it. It was different. Everybody hugged you when they said hello and goodbye. It was real mellow and kind of fake. That first night, our friend took us on a tour of Hollywood Boulevard and I realized I'd made a terrible mistake. Nothing was like I pictured it. I think if we had the money and moved up to the Hills I might have liked it more. But the town never grew on me and I haven't been back.
