Do you remember in the book Catcher in the Rye where Holden stayed in a "trashy" part of town in New York while he stayed at a hotel? Well, a hit Broad Way musical called Avenue Q takes place in a less attractive neighborhood. And a small warning before you play the video: I was unable to find a slightly cleaner version of this video. Enjoy~!
