ironBalls….I’m going to try and be cordial to you for awhile after pointing that one out. I hated that ashtray smell all over me when I got home. the only losers on that initiative were the dry cleaners!!!
Yes, carry on shouting its a sham, thats very persuasuve.

Mayoral Control of the schools, massive crime reduction, lower debt burden for NYC, 3-1-1, 2nd Ave subway construction, massive increase in number of available housing units, shall I go on????

you really think so Big Jugs???? 🙂

Yes, the old gritty Times Square sure was fun. Hey Oh Lay Lola!!!
