Closing Bell: Another Curbside Memorial

On the way to the office this morning we pedaled past this small memorial in front of 97B Vanderbilt Avenue, site of last evening's shooting. As The Local reported, a 28-year-old man who lived there was shot by a 20-year-old man who fled the scene. As of earlier today, he had not been apprehended.

"we pedaled past this small memorial in front of 97B Vanderbilt Avenue"

PLEASE STOP... We didn't pass a small memorial. I mean really, how many people fit on your bike? The correct grammer on line or offline is "I passed a small memorial". Drop the we you sound like a 13 year old high school girl.

It's the royal we, which is appropriate for a blog author. The coorporate entity of "Brownstoner."

A man lost his life tragically and you loser are arguing about grammar? Pathetic...

Thanks for showing up, hoya. Was wondering if you could still talk.

Really hoya? - I heard that it was an argument that led to the death, and the argument was about parking. If true - thats what is truly pathetic here.

So Dittoburg, if someone gets killed over a parking spot, it's not a tragedy???

bobbyj

your response is really wacky.
he could have been cycling with OTHER people in which case "we" is perfectly logical....it's distrubing that this is what bothers you.

The use of "we" is acceptable, yuppies and hipsters always travel in 3's.

rf, not getting your logic. It is a tragedy, and it is pathetic.
