Arkday – yes but that’s all the way down on 1st street and they are $$$$$$
the place upstairs – I think it’s called Seven Nails isn’t good – I went there the first year I moved to Park Slope and found it a bit dirty
there is a real demand for nail salons run (usually by Chinese/not Korean) who strive to keep prices lower but invest in nice amenities like good pedicure chairs and manicure stations and very clean waxing rooms – these new salons also offer free massages and take their time with you as a customer if they aren’t super busy.
They are sort of a mix btwn a Dashing Diva salon which is ultra clean and trendy however expensive and the run down nail salons that are sorta ghetto and cheap but aren’t very clean -IMO!
Park Slope isn’t filled with women who need to get their “tips” done every week, you know?
Governor Walker was asked that very question repeatedly by Dick Gregory in an interview last week. As if he would uncover some great conspiracy.
Walker’s response was straight forward:
His extensive experience at the local level in working with municipalities in his state revealed that ALL the municipalities needed to have the power to say no to the collective bargaining of benefits. Without that power to say no across the state, the Governor would be left to give and take here and there year in and year out.
His experience was that within a short period, they would be back to square one once the renegotiation of benefits started at the local level.
” I find it very hard to believe that a corporation will act in anything other than its own best interest, even if that interest runs counter to the greater good.”
I think that’s way too broad of a blanket statement, and simply not true. Corporations cannot continue to act “counter to the greater good” and remain in business over the long term. This is basic economics.
The vast majority of corporations are not the big bad boogey man you make them out to be. really, this kind of thinking is the sort of nonsense you hear from nutjobs or 60s radicals..
Oh please dave, you’re getting more and more absurd in trying to villify anything union.
Since when do the private sector higher ups know how to do everything in the jobs below them? Private sector management types in big firms come in with their MBA’s, but no experience, and look for their assistant to get them coffee. I know people who went from grad school to middle management and couldn’t even use the copy machine by themselves, they never had to.
I have nothing against private sector jobs, they are the only kind I’ve ever had, but they don’t shine with light from within. The private sector can be as venal as an union job.
Gem – Isn’t Dashing Diva across from 321 a nail place? And I think there’s one upstairs from Little Things & another upstairs at Union & 7th on the s.e. corner.
I’d like another bookstore. Community Books has gone downhill since Catherine left & I try not to go to B&N. Book Court is a model.

dibs – I live there too but own my own place.

Sure they can: a multinational corporation can by all means act against the greater good of the U.S. worker and remain in business over the long term.

Wall St. contributed to the Democrats in 2008 because it was obvious that they were going to win.
Wall Street is smart. That’s why there’s so much money there. These are basic tenants of reality.
