New Yorkers outraged as bureaucrats order city to change lettering on every single street sign – NY Daily News
$27 million to change NYC signs from all-caps – NY Post
All street signs in New York City need to be converted to mixed-case Clearview font by 2018. Steve Anderson of NYCRoads.com summed it up by saying “the [...]
Every year I do a tally of places I have been. The two ways for a location to qualify — I had a meal there (non-fast food) or spent the night there. Sometimes, I make exceptions that rule though, like for apple-picking.

NEW YORK — Since at least the mid 1990s, Pepsi cans sold by food carts in Manhattan have always said NEW YORK. I don’t recall seeing this in any other city. Granted the other cities that tend to buy from food carts are Washington and Arlington (actually a county, of course) so I can’t speak [...]
NEW YORK — When I was student at Penn State Hazleton, many of us often passed an intersection that had a “WAIT FOR GREEN” sign next to a traffic light in West Hazleton. Obviously, this from the Redundant Department of Redundancy Department, so we we made fun of the borough of West Hazleton/PennDot for posting [...]
NEW YORK — I visited my friend David for six hours last Saturday. We wound up at the Lower East Side’s Doughnut Plant after breakfast at a dive near his apartment in the East Village. Had I known beforehand about Doughnut Plant, I would have insisted we just go there for breakfast. The bakery, with [...]
Um, nothing?
THE BRONX — Forgive me if I find the case for building a new Yankee Stadium less compelling than say, Nationals Park. The building is old and the corridors are steep, but overall it remains a perfectly viable venue. While I have little doubt that it makes more financial sense to build a [...]
THE BRONX — I can’t help be amused to see the superintendent for the subway station next to Yankee Stadium has the same name as the long-time Speaker of the House from Massachusetts.
Or perhaps, I could turn the question around and say, MTA, how could you?
THE BRONX — Erica and I took her parents to their first game at Yankee Stadium. It was my fourth and final visit, the first being 20 years ago. Like that day, the Yankees played the Kansas City Royals, but this time they won. It took 13 innings and heroics of CF Brett Gardner to [...]
I had to either spend the night or sit down for a meal somewhere for it to qualify.

A few more thoughts on our trip to New York last weekend:
THE CITY
We parked near the theater and wound up paying about $28 for 8 hours. Not bad, but not ideal either. If we do this again the same way (staying at Cliff’s) we’ll drive up to his neighborhood and the car in the garage [...]
