So, as with any romance, six seasons of on-location shooting left behind six seasons of on-location memories.
In love or in television, six years is a long time -- long enough for there to be people out there who had encounters with Sex and the City and felt burned. Betty Rinckwitz, the president of a block association on Perry Street in Greenwich Village, said the end of Sex and the City will mean the end of "a terrible nuisance" -- filming on her block.
The front of the brownstone that viewers know as Carrie's building is on her block. Never mind that Carrie lives on the Upper East Side. The show turned the block into a no-parking zone for days at a time and disrupted residents rhythms and routines, she said.
Still, she gave the crew good marks. "They're very nice, they come when they say they'll come, leave when they say they'll leave, and they leave the place clean." And they paid her block association about US$500 for each shoot, Rinckwitz said -- about US$4,000 last year alone.
"My treasurer's really happy," she said, "but my feeling is, it should be more."
