\"steve-and-eydie\"<\/a>Here’s another Photo Elective<\/strong><\/a> shot by Tina Garceau<\/strong> taken in 1981.

At the time, the shot was no big deal — it was right outside of school. So what? Big deal! But now that some three decades have gone by, it’s an interesting little time capsule. Playing at what is now the Merriam Theater<\/strong><\/em><\/a> but was the Shubert Theatre<\/strong> at the time was the amazing song stylings of Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme<\/em><\/a><\/strong>.

If I knew then what I knew now, I would have gone, probably repeatedly, to see Steve and Eydie. Hearing, like youth, is wasted on the young.<\/p>\n

Note the parking lot in the left hand corner. The concrete bunker known as the Wilma Theater <\/em>now sits there. I think the city was better off with the parking lot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
