Submitted by our friend: Tony "the Hair" Farmer Williamsburg, Brooklyn. USA

Mid 80's we were all about avant-garde hair-do's & hair don'ts. Fashion was day-glo and music was clashing from all genres. It was a very pinnical era for those like myself coming of age in the midst of the carnival. One city stood at the forefront as the jump off point for everything that "was to be" caught my attention. This city spoke volumes to the youth, it squeezed your attention and would not let go. In 2008, we had the privilege to move to city of ALL cities. We were there to: live, explore, eat and absorb. To be "inspired" is the best description. The city exceeded all of my expectations from my youth and it set the bar for a life words can not describe. Grant's Golden Brand manifested itself in a brownstone in downtown Manhattan. God Bless New York City. Stay Golden. -Grant
