Our recent trip there reminded me of the dream assignment of my whole career – spending a week in 1978 doing anything I wanted in the Big Apple and writing about it in my Des Moines Register columns.
Loved the story about how you went to the Big Apple way back when and it sounds awesome. What a great experience and what a story you were able to write about it. Sad too that, as you pointed out, that would not happen nowadays with the newspapers and the way they are ran today. Amazing. NY is on my bucket list among several other things.
Man, what I would GIVE to have an experience like this. But ultimately, this is inspiration for me to get out into the world and explore as a writer. Great read!

Wow, thanks for sharing your perspectives and comments from that first trip to NYC. Very enlightening!
