– Just in case you were wondering.
I will now add to my list of things to ask when looking for an apartment: “Does the mail get delivered to a personal mailbox that we will be given a key to?” Apparently, sometimes the answer is “no”.

I’ve been nervous about locksmiths in NY for years, and grew even more nervous after reading this account a few months back, but Yelp helped me find my dream locksmith yesterday.
Jay has a sparkling reputation on Yelp (57 reviews that are all 4-5 stars), and an appealing web presence, and lived up to my expectations. We got a deadbolt...

On Carnegie Hall’s Facebook page, we posted a photo today from Billie Holiday’s 1948 performance, and it prompted me to do a little more reading on the matter. Sounds a little Black Swan, no?

Maybe it’s good that I can’t try all of these new photo apps because I only have a Blackberry.

Police Apologize in Person for Cyclist’s Ticket in... →
(via wnyc)
In fact, it was not the speed itself that appears to have prompted the mistake that led to Mr. Regen’s ticket being voided. While the tickets were issued for violating the limit in the park, all but one of the 10 citations ordered the defendants to appear in traffic court, Inspector Royster said. The tickets should have been answerable in Criminal Court, because it was a violation of...

Their response was it was too much work for them to haul garbage the extra 3 feet and I should call the cops. There happened to be a police van across the street, so I...

countcenci:
I bitch a lot about the calamitous state of my finances, or more accurately, my lack of them, but I’m not living in poverty. I’m merely poor, and it’s a lifestyle choice I made.
When I got laid off from a sales job I had in midtown during the recession , I took my unemployment (foolishly untaxed…
