Times Square, Manhattan, New York City, 1943. This was Joan Vollmer Burroughs’ Times Square that she was picked up in multiple times for being on benzedrine, suspected of being “crazy” and possibly about to abandon her daughter, so she would be brought to Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital…stunts often staged by her on purpose. One of the incidents was recorded at the beginning of Kerouac’s On The Road.
