Dreamtime

The Dreamtime, when gods and heros roamed the earth, doing great deeds and shaping the landscape into the form we know today.

In NYC, dreamtime sets in every time high finance gets "interested" in a neighborhood. All sort of bedlam set in an it reeal hard to find your bearings. Remember, great deeds are sometimes also great folly.

the Lower East Side has seen it's share of folly, and now that the dream-time is ending, and the new form of the landscape is beginning to set, the full impact of the change is becoming clear.

A local bar/restaurant that used to serve take-out margaritas that people used to drink on the pushcart corner has been barred from the practice, after the new landlord across the street complained repeatedly to the police.

Lockhart Steele has moved on from his self-assigned web beat. Signs are, dream-time is ending. The waters retreat, what are we left with.

Men and women, many of them very young, are coming out onto the new terrain. It is a happy time...
