sometmes I wished I lived back in the burbs again so I can drive everywhere and park in a parking lot not double-park or drive around for 40 mins looking for a friggin spot
rob>stereotypical white lady saving the day kinda movies are ridiculous and condescending
Don’t show your TOTAL ignorance…;) The ‘white lady’ who saves the day is the fu98ing director of the movie! Though Kate from Lost has a totally useless but charming 5 minute role at the very end…
“a massive duane reade is about to open on 3rd ave and 57th st. looks like it’ll have some supermkt type stuff like bread, frozen food,… never seem that before in other duane reade stores.”
yeah – they have the same thing in the new duane reade flagship store that opened in that beautiful old bank building on the corner of Lafayette and Spring. They also have a cosmetics counter. Really cool.

I wonder why there are almost no technical / handson / blue collar /engineering types who choose to live an urban lifestyle. That’s a question I sorta share with benson.
well for blue collar types they are clearly priced out these days. engineering types usually make good money and like the mcmansion lifestyle because they often have tacky wives who like that stuff too. i dont know what you mean by handson.
people who often choose to live an “urban” lifestyle do so in a phoney type of way anyway. it’s all about ridiculous yuppie amenities to them and pretending they are better than the ‘burbs. even tho they are usually more suburban than people who live in the suburbs! total fauxrbanites. just take a look at the flea lol.

Duane Reade has been taken over by Walgreens. I guess they are keeping the Duane Reade brand.

I have a magazine rack (polished nickel to match the fixtures of course) next to the toilet in the ensuite master bath. No library, though.
