-- “Thursday, January 19th, was D-Day in ‘Alphabetland,’ a blighted neighborhood located between Avenues A and D, where the dope dealers often seem as numerous as pants salesmen on nearby Orchard St.”

New York closes the Ross Global Academy : The New Yorker
february 2011 by Jack
Some children in the East Village were obliged to go to a charter school with a bunch of ridiculous hippie new-wave ideas like teaching yoga and wound up being bad at math and English. The school is mercifully being closed; the rich lady who founded the school is flabbergasted and seems like a moron.

DIRTY OLD TOWN THE MOVIE
may 2010 by Jack
This cruelly misleading movie is not about Ewan MacColl at all, but rather, the only other topic of interest in this world: the Lower East Side. "The Bowery becomes a nexus of shattered dreams..." What is the Bowery when it is not a nexus of shattered dreams?

There may be a bookstore in Fort Greene one day. This would be more exciting if the bookstore were already open or if there weren't already a lot of bookstores in the area.
