Crowded Museums

:

As people who love to go to the
Metropolitan, the Brooklyn and many of the other art museums in this city,
my wife and I have noticed over the
past few weekends an increased
attendance at all of these. I think this must be because fewer people
are going out of the city for weekends, and crowding the museums in stead.
A ski weekendin Vermont or a long weekend at a
Caribbean island are probably not
affordable by many of the people
who used to do these things.
