Reading that thread makes me think of something I’m often surprised about on this board: how posters who are otherwise so accomplished can be such novices to the mores of posting online regularly.
The numerical soup from pre-login days was a real chore to read. Names help because you have gut associations with them.
What, pray tell, is the Wall Street Sauna? I can hazard a guess . . . Will I be happy at the end? . . . Hmmm, I should stop at Blue Diamond on my way home . . .
CGar…i think the Wall Street Sauna is still open!!!!
“We should just probably officially grant you the title of PLUSA Librarian/Archivist/Keeper of the posts. ; )”
cobble, you can only give me more work if you give me more money. A title alone isn’t going to cut it.

There are 2 people I recognize in that thread with a moral certainty, but I’m not saying who or why.

Benson, my apologies, you are correct.
Brooklyn Heights is really great at Halloween too. Lots of decorations and I doubt there’s a more popular/busy street in all of Brooklyn than Garden Place. Literally thousands of kids pass through there.
