Where were you 25 years ago this week? If you were on the west side of Manhattan, you were probably celebrating the death of Westway, the proposed underground superhighway. Or maybe you were mourning its loss? If so, don't tell that to the Village Voice's Tom Robbins, who revisits the battle and calls it "one of the great citizen victories of our time." To get you back in the Westway frame of mind, blast "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits, the #1 Billboard single that week. [VV]
