"Every resident of Brooklyn lives within a half-mile of a Brooklyn Public Library (BPL) location."
Pretty awesome - cause Knowledge = All Manner of Goodies on Earth & Library = Free Access (or very low cost access) to Knowledge.

churros churros churros
yeah, bought two for $1 at 36th st subway station in brooklyn today (while heading back to work after a false alarm at home re: carbon monoxide). the churros lady gave me an extra 1/2 a churro for free.
heard tina fey's gonna do some book signingings or something like that in nyc in april 2011
yeah, that's what i heard
no wolf hats or cat hats today, but saw a dude in a bear hat
it was at a subway station on the R line, a dude had on a bear hat - bear fur looking brown hat with bear ears. i think i prefer the wolf hat, if i was forced to choose.
no tv needed in nyc
when i live in the suburbs of md/dc i watch a fair amount of regular tv & cable. but in nyc - do not feel like watching tv - 'cause there is a lot going on all the time - right outside the window, whenever you go out the door. i bet a lot of people in nyc read when they need some kind of entertainment as opposed to watching tv because reading is less stressful/requires a different kind of attention paying, less busy. need to go watch a movie in a movie theater.
