You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, where all the lights are bright
Downtown, waiting for you tonight "

“… What is your dream—your ideal? 
What is your News from Nowhere, or, rather,
What is the result of the little shake your hand has given
to the old pasteboard toy with a dozen bits of colored glass
for contents? And, most important of all, can you present it
in a narrative or romance which will enable me to pass an
idle hour not disagreeably? How, for instance, does it compare
in this respect with other prophetic books on the shelf?”

— Hudson, W. H.. A Crystal Age , 1887.
Open Road Media, Kindle Edition, page 2.

A related cultural note suggested by the New York Times  obituary today
of fashion designer Mary McFadden, who reportedly died yesterday
(a Friday the Thirteenth) and is described by the Times  as a late-life
partner of "eightfold-way" physicist Murray Gell-Mann —

* A reference to the 2-column 4-row matrix (a "brick") that underlies
the patterns in the Miracle Octad Generator  of R. T. Curtis. The only
connection of this eight-part matrix to Gell-Mann's "Eightfold Way"
that I know of is simply the number 8 itself.
