“I transferred most of my cash savings out of Citibank yesterday.
Screw that bank. They don’t give a shit about their customers and their branches are disgusting.”
See I told you so Citibank is toast. Plus the other banks are in a world of trouble. When the put that toxic Mortgage crap back on their books, all hell is gonna break lose.
Oh, get ready for high gas and home heating oil. I think this is gonna be a cold winter. Last at this time we where wearing T-shirts.
Shame about that young man. Why was he allowed to stay out of school? Sometime the newspapers don’t get it right. RIP

The Bed-Stuy boy was reportedly a school drop-out at age 13. Wonder what “grade” his last school received, the one from which he slipped into the streets and an early death…
PS 38 (my zoned school) got an A but I would still think carefully before sending my kids there.
Everything’s relative – that is the lesson to be learned from these school reports.
Such a tragedy about that young boy.
wow — 14 year-old killed in front of his family. Wouldn’t it be nice if all the people with money and influence in this city spent more time thinking about resolving crime and poverty, and a little less worrying about real estate prices, and the color of stain to put on their floors (myself included)
Park slope’s ps 107 got an A, 321 a B, how is it that they didn’t fare well?

I’ll still use them for Business banking, but that’s it. Besides, their highest interest money market account lags the rest of the market.
Brownstoner, the NYC school report cards should have it’s own blog entry. Park Slope and Windsor Terrace schools did not fare so well.
