The there there
: I walk out of my office at 42nd and Broadway in New York and find a bunch of white-haired ladies looking confused, one of them holding a map. Not being true New Yorker, I offer my help.

“What are you looking for?” I ask.

“Times Square,” they say.

“You’re there,” I reply, waving my arm uptown to the terralumens.

They looked just a bit disappointed. Not sure what they expected: hookers and heroin?

It’s what we got, ladies.

: Or maybe this is what the ladies were looking for.

    I was in Times Square recently and I saw a group of tourists standing on the sidewalk. One of them pointed to the Morgan Stanley building (which has three electronic stock tickers running its length) and said to the others, “Is that Wall Street?”
