Ever take a walk around Times Square? Past the neon lights, past all the glitz, and certainly past all of the tourists and crowds. Even past the many electronics stores, such as Lafnac Digital Computers, and all the musical instruments stores, such as Sam Ash and the like. Beyond the theater, beyond the bars, beyond even the office buildings there exists a Times Square few find out about. It is the Times Square of the native New Yorker, the man and woman who makes his living there and also lives within the neighborhood.

That is a funny word for what is world-famous as an amusement mecca, but men and women actually live there, in apartments (and not just the hotels), and people in fact work there, in warehouses and factories (and not just the attractions). It’s Times Square, all right, however the kind unknown to tourists – and most of these native New Yorkers like it this way just fine.
