Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
New York - Barney Miller (good heavens, I loved that show), The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler
Paris - the "Pink Panther" movies, the Madeleine books
London - Mary Poppins, 101 Dalmatians (books)
Los Angeles - Warner Bros. cartoons
Tokyo - Anime and manga, no doubt.
Rome - Asterix et Obelix
Chicago - Running Scared
Berlin - one of the innumerable war movies my dad used to watch on our local TV station on Sunday afternoon
I feel weird.
That's because you are weird. Well socialized but weird. Embrace the weird. You mess up all the curves anyway.
Paris--Aristocats
Ooh, good call. London was probably Mary Poppins and Peter Pan (animated) for me.
Los Angeles- Sunset Boulevard, The Beverly Hillbillies
There's a spread.
Berlin- Cabaret
What else did Berlin have before Wings of Desire?
The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler
Definitely! Good one.
Los Angeles- Sunset Boulevard, The Beverly Hillbillies
There's a spread.
::snicker:: I suppose it is. It's kind of funny though, looking at that list, to see how much of my early impressions of places were formed by big, lavish musicals set either at the turn or mid-point of the twentieth century.

Is Yonkers close enough for New York to be Hello Dolly?
Dolly lives in New York proper and a lot of the action takes place in the city, including the parade and the restaurant scene near the end.
Funny Girl is also in NY, though further into the 20th century.
NY is clearly On The Town.
New york -- heck, I lived in white plains before I was 5--so we went there
LA -- Beverley hill billys , which if barb hadn't said it I wouldn't have known.
SF - 70's a neighbor's daughter (white ) was going out there with her new Husband ( black)

I'm all earwormed with "Desolation Row", as I just bought me an electric violin.
After doing bunches of research, I discovered there's a shitload of electric violins for ≈ $85, a bunch more for $100-$200, then almost nothing until $600 and up. After reading reviews of the cheaper ones, I decided to try to find a used example of the more expensive ones. I ended up finding a barely used Yamaha on eBay....
