Rotwitt Sun Center Studios (610) 494-3600The solar system is expected to produce enough energy to power 19 average size homes and reduce 270,626 pounds of carbon dioxide every year. This is equivalent to recycling over 4.2 million cans of soda, planting 21 acres of trees and taking 27 cars off the road annually.That, of course, was the good old days, when Runyonesque characters like Nathan Detroit, Nicely-Nicely, Harry the Horse, Big Jule from Chicago and Liver Lips Louis ruled Broadway and its environs.CHESTER TOWNSHIP, Pa., May 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Sun Center Studios, the newest and most anticipated facility dedicated to help establish Pennsylvania as a haven for filmmaking, has just unveiled a 216 kilowatt (kW) solar energy system, thereby joining some of Hollywood's leading film studios in a commitment to sustainability and renewable energy sources.

Elaine Kaufman died six months ago, and the place filled up with slobs who thought being loud and obnoxious meant one was an artist or a writer. Elaine used to throw them out. The grotesque woman she left the place to did not know the difference. I'm glad the place closed. Too many fond memories of drunken all-nighters. That was the heyday of Clay Felker, Tom Wolfe, Norman Mailer, George Plimpton, even the poor little Greek boy. I used to hold editorial meetings there for 'Taki's Top Drawer' every Sunday night.In Times Square things evened themselves out.In that wonderful old Broadway musical Guys and Dolls, gambler Sky Masterson is romancing Sister Sarah Brown of the Salvation Army after an all-nighter of boozing it up in Havana. Walking her home to her mission in New York, he tells her that the only place in the world where 'the dawn is turned on by an electrician' is Times Square. She swoons.The play had a very happy ending, although if there is a revival any time soon, Nathan will most likely marry Sky and Miss Adelaide Sister Sarah. (The clapped-out NY Times had a long story last Sunday about a transgender's sex life, and an editorial by a gay man on why people like himself should boycott straight marriages. No wonder the Wall Street Journal is wiping the floor with the old bag. Saturation coverage of queenly matters. ) Many people my age wish to have lived in another era, and I do often get lost in pipe dreams of times past, but New York does this to me more than any other city because the place has changed so radically. Whites are now in the minority, cops are no longer polite or Irish, men no longer wear suits and hats, and Times Square's perfect combination of seediness and glamour has been lost for ever to a blur of moving electric surfaces advertising junk. Worse, the Sky Mastersons and Nathan Detroits have been pushed aside by dusky drug dealers and pimps, not to mention the marauding groups of young black toughs who appear out of nowhere and help themselves to any available goods.SOURCE Sun Center Studios

People now speak of the city the way Londoners speak of London. They promote it in the manner Londoners try to hide the brittleness of their place. New York used to be arrogant and self-assured. Germans and Scotch-Irish, and in a way Jews, too, made sure of it. New York led the arts from the end of the war until the end of the century. Creative types thronged to the city to produce their art. No longer. Now it's only money that counts.
