New York is a dynamic town.
I discovered today that it’s Deutsche Bank [not Constantinople, er not Time Warner] Center. Shocking, these changes. Burt and I spent a lot of time at the Time Warner Center enjoying dinner or a jazz performance or both. For our anniversary or Valentine’s or a birthday one year we went to Dizzy’s Club for a celebratory evening. If memory serves, it was a wonderful Marilyn Maye performance, and a delicious meal.
My walk through Central Park, entering at 59th Street, just across from the Deutsche Bank Center, took me past the Wollman Rink, now the City Pickle[ball court]. Another unexpected change.
There were some things that stayed as and where I remember them. Plus ça change… you know. The Pond was as it used to be, I think. I know that Burt and I sat by that pond some 30 years ago on a holiday.
The Park has gotten a great uplift, making it tourist-friendly. Its arcs have been spruced up, its paths cleaned.
There are maps and audio guides to make it more welcoming.
this is our life
