"New York City!?!"


I thought of that old ad while looking through the Times this morning: in a story about the 50 best clothing stores in America, there were three different Western wear outfits. Alcala's of Chicago, where the Old West ended and civilization rode the rails back east (or just a little further West to the new railheads); "The Double Take Experience," which is a thrift store in Sante Fe; and Lou Taubert Ranch Outfitters of Casper, Wyoming. 


I guess cowboy boots and jeans must be having a moment in the City.
