LET THEM DRINK PERRIER: I’m sitting here wondering what to make of these two New York Times headlines: “The End of California?” and “Escape from New York.”
The first laments that our state just might dry up and blow away, while the second proclaims that young Gothamites are fleeing to the creative arms of this same California.
Whether these lionized “young creatives,” as the Times calls them, will find artistic freedom, fame, and fortune 3,000 miles west of the muggers, slackers, and blizzards remains to be seen.
