Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Noon-Mark There was a time in the history of this nation when every considerable city in it strove more or less consciously to imitate the most considerable of them all, the city of New York. It is a strange thing to look back upon nowadays when the fashion has so completely gone by, and the cry is all for individualism, strong characterization, cultivating our own gardens, drinking from our own cups. We cherish, we emphasize and display our points of difference, not realizing that they have existed all along in spite of us, and that Detroit - for an instance -was never any more like Chicago - for an instance -than either one of them was like their big eastern model. But, let the rising generation believe it or not, about the year nineteen hundred, a kind of diluted metropolitanism flavored us all. We took to calling our numbered streets avenues, in one manifestation; in another, any new bridge, square, residence district or place of local prominence that needed a name at all was sure to be baptized from the New York directory. Particularly public resorts suffered or were glorified, as you choose; every "Park," every "Beach," every "Heights" in Manhattan and its environs had an army of namesakes; and I solemnly believe that there was no city through the whole extent of these United States without a Coney Island.
