What was your occupation when you lived in SoHo?

sculptor (still am)

What do you miss most about SoHo in the 1970s?

Just one thing:  Fanellis on fridays to garner all the gossip--openings, parties.  Was surviving on adjunct teaching jobs--always worried I wouldn't get enough.  One time Mike Fanelli came up to me and said "Don't worry, you can always work here"  I was SO relieved!  Many more things too...

What do you miss least about SoHo in the 1970s?

Tell you the truth, I loved it all!

If you no longer live in SoHo, why did you leave?

Didn't.

What is your most vivid SoHo memory?

OMG--I have to choose ONE?  Well, here goes: looking out the window late one night at a deserted street when suddenly a man came walking down on stilts.  

Is there anything else you would like to add to your profile?

Carrying two by fours down the street, a tour bus comes by, loud speaker goes on "Now if you look to our right, you will see a typical resident of the area in typical clothing..."  Who me?  In my torn second hand jeans? (who knew they'd become a fashion statement)
