This Is My Fucking City

It became clear to me 3am last Tuesday morning, as I walked through freezing air from the A train to the 2 down 42nd Street. I came across a gigantic banner heralding the arrival of what apparently will be a gigantic Marc Ecko store and thought "If he can parlay selling trash to a legion of unsuspecting hip-hop-addled youth and blossoming into a 'designer label' by merely slapping on an English-looking font and a coat of arms into a premium 10,000 square foot retail outlet in the heart of Times Square, then it's not too late for me. This is my fucking city!"
