Welcome back to the 1990s NYC. New jails in all the boroughs, 90 new homeless shelters scattered around the city, film crews making noises like firecrackers on a West Side street from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. next week . . . At least Bloomberg hated noise, his only redeeming feature besides nice plantings.
Don’t worry. They have all the required permits from the Mayor’s Office on Film. Oh and here’s the phone number if your car gets towed. We didn’t think the Citi bike rack was making it difficult enough to park your car.
Forgot to mention: Today a notice appeared on the blue mailbox on my corner: To avoid mailbox fishing, mail your stuff at the post office, especially if it’s a check.
