Who Is The Man In Orange?
I was walking around Battery Park today when I saw The Man In Orange: Look closely – not only orange hat and orange coat, but matching orange suit and shoes. AND MATCHING SHOES.

Is This Sign Really Necessary?
Saw this in a Bronx apartment building: I love the idea that so many people were riding outside of the elevator car, they needed to put up this sign. How do you even do that?? -SCOUT
What’s Wrong With These Bronx Townhouses?
One of the worst kept secrets in New York is the phony townhouse at 58 Joralemon Street. Once an actual residence, it now hides a subway ventilator and emergency exit for the subway tunnel running directly below (the blacked-out windows should be your first clue that something odd is going on here). Anyway, last weekend,…
A Tree Grows in Queens (Right Through An Auto Body Shop!)
I was driving down 27th Ave in Astoria the other day when a rather large tree in front of an auto body shop caught my eye. Nothing too special about a random tree…but something didn’t seem right… …And then I realized: was that tree growing through the auto body shop??

Did they forget to put the seat on that pair of shorts?
The name of the store is Colombia Jeans Levantapompis, which pretty much translates to Colombia Bottom Lifter Jeans. I live near Fordham Rd. in The Bronx and have been to this store. What they sell is all sorts of items to lift, tuck and flatten various parts of your body when you are less than in perfect shape. The “shorts” in the front window are not shorts, it’s a girdle to lift your tush underneath your clothing. The jeans are way over- priced in my opinion, even though I did get a pair, I stopped wearing them after a few uses because I really hate feeling like a stuffed sausage, now I’m just working out. These items are very popular among south american women but have gathered more popularity among other latina women in the past few years. Hope this helps!
Well, there is a certain segment of the population that goes for the Big Bodacious Butt – and more power to them if that’s what make people happy! I’m sure we all (unfortunately?) remember the Sir Mix-A-Lot tune…
