Barack Obama

Fortunate enough to live there 1969-70. My ex and I were childless then and had a tiny 'garden' studio but it didn't matter. Weeknights we didn't get home before 11 pm, and weekends sometimes we just didn't get home at all. In those 2 years we saw more of the city than many lifetime residents ever did. But we knew we wouldn't always be there either, so we wanted to make the most of our stay. Those are still some of the best memories of my life. God bless the USO, too, and the free Broadway tickets for servicemen. He was an officer so rightfully we had to wait until almost showtime before any leftover tickets were available to us. But if you were standing right there at 7:30 and really hustled, you could make it to almost any theater before curtain time.
