Although Blackstone Street remains as prosperous as ever, the old market district is changing. Slowly at first, more rapidly now, the wholesale companies are leaving the area--fruit and produce to Chelsea and Everett, meat to the "new market" in South Boston. For tradition's sake, however, some wholesalers will remain in the block-long granite warehouse known as the Quincy Market. The pushcart market is not moving. It will still be native cukes, Italian sausage, and provolone cheese. Hey, buddy, you want some nice bananas? Just ten cents a pound...

In the past 3½ years he has made over 60 films that range in length from three minutes to eight hours and in depth from below the belt to beneath discussion. Such films have traditionally been shown in private or at pot-art parties, but Chelsea Girls is currently on view for a $3 admission charge at a mid-Manhattan theater.
