Trip Sheets: The Artistic Scene

Available for over a year

Writer and broadcaster Michael Goldfarb drove a taxi cab in New York during the 70s while he pursued an acting career. In five essays, he looks back to the days when he filled in his "trip sheets". In this edition, Michael looks through the windscreen of his taxicab at the unofficial social policy that led to arson and population decline in 1970s New York and its unintended consequence: a flowering of the artistic scene.
