"That little ole lonely elevator girl... what's her name and address?" Now we know

A fun piece from a recent NPR broadcast. Have a quick listen to the short piece below.

"One of photographer Robert Frank's most famous images aroused a particular interest from his friend, beat writer Jack Kerouac.

In his introduction to Frank's book of photos The Americans, Kerouac writes, "That little ole lonely elevator girl looking up sighing in an elevator full of blurred demons, what's her name and address?"

Now we know."
