A few months ago I read a newspaper article that said the ferris wheel was being removed. It was put there only as a temporary structure, I think as part of the millennium celebration.

When was it removed? Anyone know for sure.

Huh, BCBG=bon chic, bon genre, also written as bon-chic bon-genre and once in a great while, I see bon chic, bon gens. Means French yuppies, usually from the 16th or better parts of the 17th arrond of Paris or some of the more upmarket burbs. Originally a compliment for people with style and good taste, now *sometimes* a put down (by the avant garde set). <BR>Not to be confused with CBGB, the punk NY nightclub favored by Blondie and the Talking Heads ;-)

bcbg = preppy (US) = sloan ranger (UK)<BR><BR>(roughly)

Oops sorry....I tend to forget details...thanks Anthony and Francesca...

Say<BR><BR>John G is a confabulatorian.

Just an addition to what BTilke wrote...CBGB's means Country, Bluegrass, and Blues.<BR><BR>Not to be confused with heebie-jeebies. :)

cbgbs gives me the heeby jeebies

How could I forget to mention those shoes??? They were just fascinatingly, amazingly awful, lethal looking. Perhaps good for thwarting pickpockets on the Metro? I saw a pair in camouflage! The shoe ended up being about 14 inches long. I was wondering if it would take long to get used to them, what with your foot now ending about six inches from where you think it ends.<BR>

Didn't Edgar J Hoover of the FBI in DC wear BCBG?
