Last week I made my way to Union Square to meet with a friend for lunch somewhere in the vicinity. And along the way I felt the need to journal the following: All these years I had no idea the tree in union square was artificial. I think in my childhood days it was a real tree I vaguely recall being delivered on a bed of a truck from Oregon or… maybe I am wrong. My favorite word, luring me as always into Macy. I think it all started with the Macy shopping bags, on it stamped the word Believe. Now its a full-blown sign displayed in the window. Naturally I had to walk into the store.
