If you’re a SoHo old-timer, what do you miss most about SoHo in the early days?
It was an amazing time there. The art scene was flourishing and everyone was working to support themselves as actors, musicians and artists. We all knew the other store owners, gallery owners, restaurant staff and after work we’d choose a place to hang out and had after hour parties. We were mostly in our 20s and felt that the world was our oyster.
If you used to live in SoHo but no longer live here, why did you leave?
It was the 70s and nyc was filled with crack. I experienced so much street crime over a five year period and as tough as I felt, it began to take a toll on me. I decided to leave after my apartment was burglarized.
