Rockefellers, Astors and Diddys have made their fortunes in her realm. Bigwigs from Trump to Moses have shaped her sturdy look. Chaplin, Gleason and Woody have mined her streets for comic gold. And so, with a bit of Barnum and a dab of Basquiat, Matt Oberg and Dion Flynn join Matt Higgins, Jay Rhoderick and Kevin Scott... as Centralia celebrates the greatest city in history: New York. Centralia will inhabit the people and embody the spirit that make New York unique. From the Bronx to the Battery, from today's Times, back to the beginning of time -- all-things-Gotham are game. Wake-up to the city that never sleeps with Centralia*: The New York Show.
*Centralia could've slept with NYC one night at a party, but didn't.
