After our long walk through Bob Dylan Et al’s Village to Positively Fourth Street and beyond, it might be worth our while to think of how it compared to the streets upon which he strode. For example, when I started at NYU in the 1968, The Village was a very different place both visually and socially. At the time NYU was experiencing a fiscal crisis and was bounded on two sides by active light industries on Broadway and below Houston Street. Now it looks like Oz.
