Ballard: The new Greenwich Village

Remember the 60s? Okay, me neither. I wasn’t even born until almost 20 years later (hope I didn’t just make you feel old ;-) . But I imagine it was a flutter of artists, rebellions and poets going amuk. And now that kind of energy might just hit cute, little Ballard – for at least a moment or two.
