a _____________is not so much ___________ as it is a way of signifying one’s membership in a certain class,
a nicely mulched sidewalk tree plot is not so much for preserving ground moisture as it is a way of signifying one’s membership in a certain class.
I rant.
I see no pattern in the ongoing distribution of mulch in Bed Stuy. Some non-landmarked (and arguably uglier) blocks are getting it. The landmarked block between Bainbridge and Decatur is often the worst for litter while our nonlandmarked block is amongst the cleanest, yet we get no mulch.
I will be staying at the Palace hotel. It’s right across the street from the Emperor’s Palace complex. I will also be staying in Mito City, in Ibaraki prefecture.
I wasn’t referring to the abandoned house. I was referring to MM’s QOTD. Take a look at it again.
I also wasn’t referring to the issue of the Church with the loud noise. I was referring to some comments along the line that public demonstrations of faith should be banned.

It does ring true for those who care about status, which is a hell of alot of us. But same can be said for so many things, designer bags, iphones, $100 t-shirts….
Which sparks a new madlib

benson….the building that was being spoken of has literally been “abandoned” by it owner. Something needs to be done to places like that which, at the very least are an eyesore and blight on the community, and moreso are downright dangerous.
The preacher/church issue was a valid one as well….they were breaking certain laws and there’s no right ro constantly blast music as a public nuissance.
Where are you staying in japan??? I’m always at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo. It went through its “tired” days in the 90s but I quite like it now. Location can’t be beat.
a ‘pair of glass pumps’ is not so much ‘just a pair of shoes’ as it is a way of signifying one’s membership in a certain class,
Yes, the Palace Hotel is not far from the Imperial. The Imperial finally got the “western breakfast” right along about 1994 or so.
If you’re a scotch drinker, the Old Imperial Bar at the I H has one of the best selections in the world.
Are you a fluent speaker???

As Paul Fussell writes, the real difference between elites and lower classes is that elites take their drinks dry, lower classes like them sweet.

Your story is quite similiar to mine. Maybe that’s why we’re on the “right” side of things.
