I'm trying to remember which of you people mocked Kentucky for being out of power for a week after that monster ice storm a few years back. :hmm:

Probably only because you were on this 'OMG Kentucky is the new Eden' trip shortly after you moved :P

Which really was just a big indictment on the Greater Boston area.

Actually I think it says more about Cal's tastes / perhaps where Cal lived previously as it wouldn't be a stretch to say that when Cal lived in my town - I lived in a nice neighborhood and he did not. ;)

No power in Lower Manhattan still. I'm ready for Halloween regardless:

I think I'll be getting smashed in HK.

To be honest, I'm not even sure what to think about that. :D

They do, except in hurricane-prone areas.

Explain.

My hotel room has a private roof deck with chaise lounges. Definitely different from what I was in last night!

On bus - lots of space where I got on. By 2nd stop packed in like sardines. At 3rd stop an older black man was trying to get off so we were pushing about when this middle aged black man forced himself on the bus and barreled into me. Everyone yelled at him to get out of the way but he didn't.  Then he started complaining that everyone was on the bus because it was free and we were like nope just the only way to get uptown from downtown without waiting hours for a cab.  Then he complained about my suitcase and messenger bag. He complained about my messenger bag hitting him again and I'd had it. Told him right off which of course then made me the angry person on the bus.  Such fun! :P

Moral of the story- black people are violent troublemakers?

Only one person in that story could at all be described as violent.

Ugh...
Quotealready we are seeing disproportionate attention given to lower manhattan over outer bk, queens and the bronx. do not be complicit in the media erasure of working class communities of immigrants/folks of color! new york is my beautiful cultural jungle home but it's not gonna stay that way if we don't stay informed and support each other.

Also welcome to everyday living in the city.

That there's an issue with lower manhattan getting better treatment than the outer boroughs.

Ok, well it's not surprising.

For a moment I thought you were complaining about people making such assertion, be those true or false.  :P

Hopefully the hipsters are being rounded up in Brooklyn.
