WEST SIDEThe street on the western side of the park. Central Park West, has large and unusual apartment buildings. When the first one was being built, people laughed. They said nobody with money would live in an apartment house, especially when it was so far from from the center of town that it might as well be in the Dakotas (in the western part of the United States, see Unit 5). The builder had the last laugh, he named his buiLding the Dakotas, and when it opened, every apartment was occupied. The Dakotas has had many famous resident, including actress Lauren Bacall and conductor/composer Leonard Bernstein. But, above all, the building makes people think of John Lennon. who lived there and was killed right outside on December 8, 1980.
