My neighborhood is currently being redecorated by a film crew working on a movie directed by Julie Taymor (of "Lion King" fame). From what I hear, the movie is set in New York in the "summer of love"- would that be 1967? I'm not sure. Anyway, it's kind of odd to see the fake grafitti and colorful facades develop all around me. And I'm curious- did the Lower East Side ever really look like this? It seems a bit too cheerful.
