Wow, THL, you’re fast! By the time I finished benson’s post and was going to answer Naked City, you already had it.
That’s my trivia partner, folks. I picked a winner.
I know all the politicians and law enforcement going to make this sound like they are on top of the terrorist thing…but to me this group of losers not involved with anything larger and probably not real competent.
It is the organized political types (and intelligent) they could be a real threat. This bunch is more like small time small town losers looking for attention. More like the nut jobs that shoot a bunch of people at a school or mcdonaldns – not part of the international terrorist network.
there’s a lotto right now for newly construction condos in manhattan, affordable, to buy in central harlem if anyone is interested.
five 1 bedroom units will be sold for 150K, max income is 49,150 (ugh i totally fall under that!!!). i might apply anyway even tho i have no way of finding a deposit.
and
three 1 bedroom units for 175K max income 61,450.
the market rate units for 1 bedroom are 529K and 2 bedroom 589K and 3 bedroom 769K
anyway, im only writing this cuz this actually seems like the income requirements isnt as ridiculous as some others.
there’s new constructed rentals on west 38th street in manhattan
17 studios, rent 471 but you have to make between 20K and 26,900 a year.
57 one bedrooms available for 504 dollars a monht you need to fall between 22,306 and 26,900.
Since I may not be around tomorrow, I’d like to post my weekly NYC trivia quiz today. Here ya go….
In 1948, a classic movie was released. It was a unique film for its time, in that it combined a noir and docu-drama style. Also new for its time was that it was filmed on location, specifically in NYC. Indeed, though the film is nominally about a police case involving a murder, it was as much about life in NYC at that time, which was the expressed purpose of its producer (and narrator), who was a New Yorker.
The title of the film was a characterization of the city which became famous, and was used for decades to describe NYC (it is now almost forgotten). Another long-lasting legacy was the film’s closing line. The film later spawned a TV series, in which the same closing line was used for each episode. Again, today that closing line is nearly forgotten.
So, today’s trivia quix has three questions:
a) What was the name of the film?
b) What was the meaning of the characterization?
c) What was the famous closing line?
After someone identifies the film, I’ll post some clips from it, as they are fascinating to watch (at least to me).
arklady i am going to do that today. IRS wound up telling me yesterday that it was a generic letter they sent with all the forms needed and that it didnt necessarily mean i needed to send in all of those listed *phew*
just my regular W2 which i KNOW i sent in the federal. i just forgot to send it in the state which they contacted me too so i wrote them back saying i resent it. such confusion for a stupid mistake.
