I've always loved street music (especially if they're good!) but had not thought what it must be like to hear the same thing over and over. She probably felt the same way I do when a car alarm goes off and there's nothing I can do about it. I guess if a person could afford it, they'd put in better soundproof windows and only enjoy the music when they wanted to. I have to laugh a little, though, because I think you'd rather have nice music for a neighbor than gang violence or rampant crime!

Some people like to crab just for because they can. <br /><br />This story puts me in mind of the Matter of Trust video by Billy Joel. It was set in an East Village(?) basement apartment. He drew a huge crowd but one lady across the street screamed "shut up!" from her apartment window. I don't know if it was staged but it's a fun coincidence.Beth in NYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01252100519220279252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-74959473911520765962009-07-09T11:38:04.942-04:002009-07-09T11:38:04.942-04:00I can understand the woman.

Places like the Whitney Club (later an art museum) was established in 1914. The Cherry Lane Theatre was established in 1924. The area was home to the beat generation in the 1950s. This area has had an artistic/bohemian history before this woman was born and I imagine for a woman her age, that had to be a factor in her living there. More so really than today, where much of the residents are younger, upwardly mobile and much of the "bohemian" character is relatively nonexistent, i.e. working artists etc.Brian Dubéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579167361224067819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-67617682896568505862009-07-09T01:00:19.264-04:002009-07-09T01:00:19.264-04:00Great photos!

However, if it's the middle of the day, and the performances don't continue into the night (e.g. after 10PM), I really don't see how anyone has a right to say anything.....<br /><br />Btw, the moment I saw the frist photo, I immediately thought if she had a heart attack afterwards.Mirelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12812450418473577892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-34721006414048281802009-07-08T23:06:53.292-04:002009-07-08T23:06:53.292-04:00The surprising part of this story is that the sing...The surprising part of this story is that the singers apologized.
