Is Scouting NY As Enjoyable As A Pack of Highlighters? A Handy Guide!
This evening, I received an inquisitive e-mail from an anonymous reader with regard to my 3rd Annual Scouting NY fund-raising drive: Hmmm. An interesting question. How to put a value on content you’re used to getting for free? I’ve thought long and hard about it, and I think the only way is to compare the…
NYC Public School Using Houdini-Style Locks
We were renting a Queens public school gym recently for holding and catering… I was busy studying this apparatus (pull up bar?) and having horrible gym class flashbacks, when I noticed a padlock attached to it… Glad to know the NYC public schools schools are still using locks that look like Houdini should be escaping…

Well, sure, Linda Sue, but still, that’s nearly twice what they cost here in Minnesota.
really into your site, love the old candy store signs too.
I love that the store is so narrow that its sign extends onto the building next door.
It’s things like this that I would visit N.Y. for…….

I don’t understand what’s the big deal about this place, I live right across the street from it and all day I see people sitting in front of the store just hanging out (sometimes being loud and disruptive), I have yet to see real customers walking in and out.
