Hot Dog Issue in Battery Park, NYC

No matter the community is raising voice against the newest 100 dollars fine for walking the off-leashed dogs in Battery Park's "Great Lawn", the Financial District Committee does not seem to pull back their decision, either, and say they stand for what their Constituents want. For the community it looks like an overall fencing off and prohibition of dogs, since "There’s no place within C.B. 1 where a dog is allowed to walk on grass".

Voices are being heard about the installing a dog run as a possible solution: Magnificent new opportunity for some more regulations to act in accordance to, and supply bureaucratic bodies with some more jobs!

It's Chropping (Christmas&shopping) time!

Apparently, November 22nd was a bad day for New York stock exchange, and the superstition always comes in when a question of life and death is in the game. So, the elves (mostly blond ones, obviously) from OfficeMax came in to cheer up the stocks and make them, eh, rise?

Thanks, Deepa, for the link.
