If you think that this mythical 1970s version of Broadway is ever going to come back then I'm afraid you're mistaken. Shopping habits have changed drastically.

If Broadway was so perfect before why am I hearing tales of complaints about a concrete monstrosity that many people were glad to see the back of? I'm not the only one with rose tinted specs, it seems.
No, I never mentioned your name.
And I do not hanker after the Broadway of the seventies, because I am intelligent enough to know that it can never be that place it was then.
Back in the seventies the place was thronged with people...It could be again, but of course it won't be because no one want to listen to those who are concerned about the decline of the town.
As for the rose tinted specs..I wouldn't mind borrowing yours.
