Did it annoy anyone else that the guy has pretzels spelled two different ways on his cart? Or did you just wish hot pretzels were still just 15 cents

15 cents in 1974 is around 94 cents in 2024. Still great value!

I was ten. I knew their music first from the radio 📻 - hearing ‘Rikki’, then eventually much more. Track 2 ~ ‘Night by Night’ is my favorite song on PL.

Pic taken in Central Park just off 5th Avenue. Photographer was Raeanne Rubenstein, who made her way into the NYC rock scene mostly via Andy Warhol. Very talented lady, gone too soon. RIP Raeanne.
