Q&A With Joe Chan [Observer]
Perhaps a mutual protection society. Anyway, I’m getting the shelter’s hatch reinforced.
Well, I was expecting you to protect me but it looks like I’ll be the one protecting you 🙂
Plenty of room there, bxgrl, but it could be dangerous. I’ve run afoul of all the Transportation Alternatives and green crowds and they’re out for my head (even though I ride a bike and have never ever driven a car). Seek shelter with me at your own risk!
Where, rob? In the world of furniture and home furnishings, shopping at Pottery Barn, Ikea and West Elm is relatively inexpensive, compared to even Ethan Allen or Bloomingdale’s. Even kitchy accessories from Jonathan Adler aren’t that expensive. They did not spend a lot of money.
morralkan- is there room in your bomb shelter? 😉
You have to be very careful around here, bxgrl. Your last comments demonstrate that you are in favor of motor vehicles belching out vast quantities of pollution, killing everyone within breathing distance, and running over anyone who dares cross a street. You must become an enlightened individual who will banish all gas-powered conveyances. In the brave new world, cyclists and pedestrians will rule, auto drivers will be pilloried. Oh, and all deliveries will be dropped from the heavens by non-polluting giant doves. 🙂
Love the Bushwick place1 I think i saw 2 of these guys yesterday in the subway, carrying some really interesting windows that were painted.
I do think its important for the city to be greener and more pedestrian friendly. But at the same time, the Transportation Commissioner is doing no one any favors by being an arrogant sod. And although bike lanes are for the most part a good thing, I wonder how much we affect businesses by all of these changes? Deliveries, emergency services, firetrucks- all of these are also affected, and it seems to me that Sadik-Khan is more concerned with bike lanes, than actually improving transportation for everyone – people and businesses- within the city. I would like to see more imaginative thinking about the whole picture of public transportation- because the reality is, cars and trucks are not leaving.For many people they are a necessity- and public transportation in the outer boroughs leaves a lot to be desired.

not a ton of mone
lol. did you see some of the things listed and where they were purchased? just cuz there’s some random thrift store junk and hand me downs thrown in the mix doesnt mean a ton of money wasnt used.
*rob*
I too like what they did with the Bushwick place. Pretty cool.
