...based Uppercase will launch a new line of hand-stitched leather cases inspired by the elegant designs of the 1920s, but with the sturdiness of modern luggage.

Whether you find your old chums or not, you might make some new ones--folks who also remember the Broadway trolley's cane seats and the pizza at the Monarch Grill. Who knows? Maybe someone will write to me with news--even Sylvia, wondering, "Sidney, all those years, where were you?" --By Francine Russo...
