New York closes the Ross Global Academy : The New Yorker
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
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?

Greenlight Bookstore Blog
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.

PS: Later, the bookstore opened, and Hely and Simon had a reading there.
