Bugs Bunny in “Bowery Bugs” (Warner Bros, 1949)

Having lived on the Bowery for a couple of years, I enjoy cultural references to it slightly more than to other parts of NYC. For example, the following gem was posted on the Bowery Boogie blog:
The Bowery makes a guest appearance in this 1949 Bugs Bunny cartoon, entitled Bowery Bugs. The story follows a gambler with a terrible string of bad luck, and his mission to quell the hard times. Oddly enough, his quest begins in the forest primeval - Flatbush.
Read the Wikipedia entry on Bowery Bugs here.
And watch the full cartoon via YouTube here.

And this Bowery street scene…

WHO: some 20 yr. old White guy
WHERE: 281 Bowery 2nd fl
THE STORY: Every time I see the guy across the street finishes eating, he puts his plate up to his face and laps his tongue all over it like a wild dog or something!
