Subject: RE: BS: NYC makes odd use of Woody
Given the costs of rentals in NYC and the gentrification changing neighborhoods I would think that "How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live".   Not a Guthrie piece and it probably would not bring in too many tourists----ah---but the honesty.

Though who knows. About a year ago I interviewed a fellow for my Tabletalk program who runs tours to the areas that everyone thinks or thought "bad" in The Bronx and Manhattan. Strangely he has a nice turnout of young foreign visitors. ANother successful tour operation is Nosh Walks. I also interviewed her---walks through ethnic neighborhoods---not upscale to sample cuisine.

Perhaps honesty in advertising would pay.
