They are thin, curving, and the buildings tower up on either side, piling on top of one another, filling up the horizon.  I love being a movie fan because my immediate thought, looking at the landscape, was of Anthony Mann&#8217;s terrific film noir <i>Side Street<\/i> (I reviewed it for Noir of the Week <a href=\"http:\/\/www.noiroftheweek.com\/2009\/12\/side-street-1950.html\">here<\/a>.)  New York is one of those cities where it is difficult to remove it from all of the stories told about it, and it depends on your filter, and although New York has changed so much and it is difficult to find the New York of <i>Midnight Cowboy<\/i> anymore, it&#8217;s still there, at some points on 8th Avenue, if you&#8217;re looking for it.  The canyons yawn down in Wall Street, with only geometrical glimpses of the sky above, and my vision went flying up into the sky, looking down on what those streets must look like from far above, as Mann showed during the amazing car chase that closes the film.  I even walked by the Sub Treasury building where the final standoff takes place.  Anthony Mann&#8217;s New York is alive and well and living on Wall Street.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"DSC09663_2.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/DSC09663_2.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"DSC09702.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/DSC09702.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"DSC09667.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/DSC09667.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On my way down to the Bloomsday celebration I was attending with Therese (and it was one for the books, more later) I found myself wandering the streets of the Financial District, an area of town I rarely go to, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/?p=10158\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[24],"tags":[2572],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10158"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10158"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10158\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24831,"href":"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10158\/revisions\/24831"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10158"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
