> 1966?? So, like, pretty much all the world-changing, paradigm-shifting revelations were in West Village?

No. Unix, C, C++, etc were in nj.

Yeah, but those aren't world-changing, paradigm-shifting revelations. Arguably, they're just ruts the world got caught in. Hopefully we'll be out soon.
There was a Bell Lab in the now Westbeth artists housing, named for one of its corners, West and Bethune st, which opened in 1970 or so. https://untappedcities.com/2017/02/27/inside-westbeth-artist...
