DH and Jessi,

I would argue that CBGB’s was a huge cultural asset for New York City. As much as say Sun Studios in Memphis or The Apollo in Harlem.
Varvatos is great to capture some of that, but the city or private resources should have stepped in and made it a real tourist attraction.

The Ramones invented punk in a blast of genius there around 1975 and it influenced generations.
They even influenced the Beatles, even though they disbanded in 1970
but through some backward reverberation in musical soundwaves in physics not yet understood,
the Beatles must have channeled that energy in recording Helter Skelter.

OK, I’ll play.

Today I’m wearing a Charles Tyhrwitt, white, English cotton, french cuff with an Olde English monogram on the pocket.

Cufflinks are solid silver coins from The Philippines.

“Tiny white ones, no wider than a penstroke.”

So red with a white pinstripe. Do cars still get pinstripes or was that just an 80s thing?

Yeah, the only downside of the Philly HOTD is one has to live in Philly.

be sure to take the “House Tour” posted below the pics!!!!!!

MAJOR PORN
