PAGE 8, WEDNESDAY, JAN UARY 16,1974, WH ITBY FR EE PRESS KALNINS ON* 0e. New York's I8th Avenue This week 1 took a quick trip to myv favorite Fun City. To get down there by 'ple. it takes oiuly 50 minutes if ail goes well. But, willb uîy Latvian Iiîck ¶ things îîever go well. As expected, the fliglît was delayed bx' a good hiaif hour due to Christmnas rush aîid laîîdiiig probleuis at La Guardia ýairport. Once on the Streets of New York, I felt a lot better. The Fun City lhasn't ieaul changed that muchi since mny last visit, about six moîitls ago. Despite energy crisis, brigh t I igli ts were everv where. AI thouigli, rm friends told nme that the Midtown section of Maliatten liad lost some of its glitter becauise lighits were being switched off -~regularly after lours. The difference caui be observed onlly by lookiîig towards Wall Street fr-ouiEnmpire State building oni 34t1i Street. Probably, the same effeet 'ou get Mlien viewing Manluattaui froni the highiest point iii the city - the gleaming World Ti-ade Centre. Wheuleverin i New York, I always spend somie tiime on %th Avenue which is close to Times Square. The itîfani- ous Eighth lias the chai-acter of its own: body rub pair- lors on both sides, porno.uiovie houses liere and there and prostitutes on every corne r. On toip of that. the visitor is greeted by drug puisiiers. panhauadiers, rapists. pettv ci-mimaIs aud plainî <ld di-unks. The 8th Avenue ieally cornes alive ai-ound ten o'clock ini the evening. For a phiotograplier. the sin strip cati prov'ide a whole portfolio of excitiuîg pictures. But, one iust he extrenie- lv careful uising the camiera. The hlack commuitiiîNinl liai-ticular luate newsmien and phlot<>giapliers siloppingi ai-ound. If vou reallv must take a picture - stand back anîd use a telepllot<) lens. Crime-%vise. the 8th Avenue is iîîfested Nvirli aIl sorts of characters readv to gyrab vour haniidhag or canmera and tlîeuîdaislî witlî a lighitning speed in the closest side si reet. Needless to sav, New Yoi-ks allevs and haick-streets are pitch-black. Often the smialler lunes ai-e als() iît tereci wîth garbage and brokeni pop boules. l)espite ail thiese hazards nien îioned ahc>se. ,a 1 v coric hack to 8th Ave. and its brooding iinî now, I have cleveloped a 'af'wav lu walk t hrotiOh tie streets of New~ York. 1 neyer carry v vwvallet or val- uiahle documenits - just to be oni the safe side. 1 (ake no more thian tweuîîv dollars %vith me, ýalwas neatlv tucked inside niv shirt pocket .

Besides. vou will spend the tweîîtv bticks anyway. New York is very tenîipting. Onîce ouIt of the red liglît district. the overaîl situation is not qute as grim. Times Square is still a fun area tu walk. But. stay awacy from 'radio shops. They are clip joints oni lookout for guillable out-of-town tourists, auixioLis to speîîd their hard-earuîed dollars. Ideuitical goods cati be pui-chased for a lot less uîonev in down- town or around l4th Street. Fiuîally, a word about so-called *"fun'i places here. Generally, the night life of New York is very expensive. Howevei-, tlîeue are reasonable spots ail over towin. 1 usually spend my evenings lu Yorktownî, betteu- kiîowu as the East Side, around 86th Street. The atmosphere tliere is very European - rnostly Germani. For instance, a fun night at Lorelei will cost you uo more thani five dollars, unless you drink like a fisîî.
