Why did the artist and writers move to grrenwitch village in the 1920s?

why do people move to the village today? because it is the place where you can do your own thing and nobody bothers you about it. in the 20s as well as today the clubs are open til 4 in the morning, you can start your day any time you want (if you are an artist of any kind) besides the bohemian life style their is thae architecture of the buildings. New York university is within the confines of the village, right off Washington square. during the week you can ply yourself to your art and sell it to the tourists on the wekends" you know something is happening, but you don't know what it is do you mr. Jones" in the warm weather months you can write your speeches-write your songs write your books and sing them- get on a soapbox and give a speech or talk about your new book all in the outdoors at Washington square
