In late 1950's and early 60's - of course I loved it - I was in the
theatre..and then it was a magical placeto me..
But later it became downright terrifying... 70's and 80's..
Now it is just annoying: - another over-crowded, noisy, glitzy place to
avoid. Not at all an "intellectual" thing for me... it has returned to being
scary, too... in some ways.
Personally, I rather like Las Vegas - but the real townand area, not so
much "the Strip" which is not Las Vegas at all, techinically

I worked in Manhattan for 11 years, and I walked through Times Square at every

greatest American newspaper once held forth. Cowboys, naked ladies, Mickey
Mouse. It's still Times Square, and it's still special. (Although I realize for
today's New Yorker it's intellectually compulsory to mock it.)

Thanks, Ann.
Yes, I believe that the "actor" is male, but the character is female.
Times Square is mostly populated by foreign tourists, there days. Most
of the costumed characters are from children's books and movies, since
it is easier to get money from the adults when their children want
their picture taken with Mickey or Minnie or Sponge Bob Squarepants.
I couldn't really avoid Times Square, because we were boint to the
Marquis Theater to see Penn and Teller.
They didn't have the topless painted ladies there yet. That is a very
recent development, although the Naked Cowboy has been around for a
while.
