There are a million stories in the naked city...
The population of New York City has grown significantly since those immortal words were uttered in the film noir The Naked City.
One In 8 Million is an interactive feature which gives a few of New York's characters a chance to tell their stories. The latest entry, Joel Carp: The Corner Druggist, is outstanding. This is why I love the New York Times. It's also why I love New York, and old neighbourhoods like the one we live in in Vancouver, where there seems to be a story on every corner, a character on every park bench. The kind of place where the man behind the deli counter knows everyone who's lived in your house since the day it was first occupied in 1945.
