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....

This Amazon listing has a good photo of a new one: [link] Mine is the same color (red and black).

New York: Miracle on 34th St. (the old one)

Paris: Probably some Marie Antoinette biographies I read as a kid. More recently, Amelie.

London: Can I say the whole punk and brit pop of the late 70's, early 80's.

Los Angeles: Play It As It Lays and all the non-ficiton Hollywood stuff by John Gregory Dunne

Tokyo: Godzilla

Rome: Fellini's La Dolce Vita

Berlin: Wings of Desire

I don't know if it's because I haven't had a bad cold in a long time but this is the worst cold I've had in ages.

I don't know if it's related to the cold, but immediately upon eating lunch, I instantly threw it up. This led to a headache I cannot shake, many burst blood vessels around and in my eyes, and a reluctance to eat anything for most of the day. On top of this I am feverish and congested. My mom called and she and my dad have the same cold, so I couldn't even whine to her. I have been having a pity party all day, by myself.

My view of LA definitely comes from Sunset Boulevard. And, to a lesser extent, Rebel Without a Cause.

New York - Roller Skates, The Saturdays

Paris - Madeline

London - Mary Poppins, E. Nesbit's The Story of the Treasure Seekers, A Little Princess, Sherlock Holmes

Los Angeles - Dragnet

Tokyo - Godzilla

Berlin - Cabaret

SF - Summer of Love news coverage, "If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair," McMillan & Wife (Anyone remember Rock Hudson pursuing a suspect over SF hills on a bicycle?)

LA - Also: Emergency, CHiPs, and The Day of the Locust.

I watched a lot of cop shows in the '70s. So I guess NY and LA got covered. And I loved Emergency and liked CHiPs.

Happy Days taught me very little about Milwaukee. (Or was that in a suburb of Milwaukee?) Neither did Lavern and Shirley, but I was annoyed when they moved to LA.

And my impressions of Fantasy Island were largely informed by the TV show of the same name.

Oh, and Hawaii Five-O for Hawaii.

That's the danger of not being subbed to every thread. I'm invariably behind somewhere.

You're a bad board citizen!

GAZEBO!!!
