Must have been a Sunday because there was so little foot traffic, but Central Park was crowded. <br /><br /> And notice all the litter! Midtown was more beautiful when I was there this spring, after 43 years. The streets were definitely cleaner this time. <br /><br />1951: We visited New York that year when I was 10 years old. The vehicles and clothes sure looked familiar. <br />I wasn't actually there, but I remember the air raid. It caused quite a stir in the movie newsreels (not much national TV yet). It was interesting to see the films showing on the marquees. And did you notice Judy Garland at the Palace? <br /><br />Wikipedia:<br /><br />Although Garland appeared in concert as early as 1943, it was only when her film career stalled that she began regular concert appearances, beginning with a critically acclaimed 1951 concert series at the London Palladium. Garland set a record when she appeared for 19 weeks at the Palace Theatre in New York City, also in 1951, and her 1961 concert Judy at Carnegie Hall is often described as one of the greatest nights in show business history. She continued to tour until just three months prior to her death in 1969.<br /><br />I was surprised to see how small the Palace facade really was.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18068504114136575693noreply@blogger.com
