Mr NYC Ahead of His Time

Okay, doing two Mr NYC Ahead of His Time(s) in under a week may be a little shameless but I can't help it -- I really am.

See, when it comes to people and places and things in NYC, I always feel like I saw them first, got them first, experienced them first -- I was, in a way, prophetic.

Recently two things reminded me of that, and they couldn't be more different.

First, a report on CBS Sunday Morning about the Professional Children's School in Manhattan. I went there for middle school, during my dancing days, over 30 years ago. It was weird seeing what the school has evolved into today -- some things were familiar, some things very different. Plus ca change ... and so forth.

Second, our friend Ross Barkan has popped up again, this time giving a big interview about the mayor's race to Tara Palmeri, one these ex-network anchors who now does her own YouTube show. You should watch it since both Tara and Ross are very smart. 

Specifically, Ross talks about whether or not this election will mark the end of the Cuomo dynasty that has had great power in this city and state for almost 50th year. Are the Cuomos going the way of the Bushes, the Kennedys, the Romanovs and the Habsburgs? Tomorrow will tell us.
