The writing is stunning - it is amazing how many artists come from this great City。 Yet， it is also very depressing in the consistent lament of how the City has changed， that it is not once what it gloriously was。 Less than a handful seem to enjoy the wonders it still has to offer。 Maybe it is a reflection of the past four dismissal years， and continuing with a pandemic that still does not let us leave our home on a consistent basis。
