roflmao!
The Great Wall market is amazing, isn’t it?
I don’t like to shop there, preferring Three Guys From Brooklyn just up the street a ways, as the market is SO crowded it takes fifteen minutes to ring your groceries up!
You moved from NYC, didn’t you? Do you miss it?
See ya’,

I LOOOOVE Gino’s, which has a lot of Albanians. Fantastic food! Long waits but well worth it!

Tuesday: A trip to Harlem, including stops at The Studio Museum, The Apollo Theater and a bite to eat at Dinosaur Bar-B-Que. Mrs. O and friends later dined at Aquavit.
Thought that was the night Noboma was supposedly going to go dine with Michelle and the girls in the WH private dining room as he snubbed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
Imagine when she’s done with politics. She’s going to weigh 800 lbs. She’s going to make oprah look skinny.
Oh, cool!
I know so many New Yorkers who have moved to Pompton Lakes, Toms River, etc., to get away from the city...I’m glad you’re back in NYC.

He lied
Shhhh...don’t tell Bibi.
Maybe Obama saw his girlfriend that night
Do as I say, not as I do!
I think that’s lipliner. The lipstick has worn off, and just the lipliner remains. It’s quite unappealing.
Those tend to be the old school blue collar types. They are being replaced by yuppies/hipsters in terms of who comprises the "white" population. This is why most white folks in Manhattan and much of Brooklyn (to say nothing of the folks moving into my area) don't have New York accents.
Jersey is a rip-off in terms of property taxes, and I don't see the quality of life as being any better, especially if (like me) you don't need kids in public school. I lived in Lawrenceville (near Princeton) from 2006-2008, and couldn't take the boredom and high property taxes.
Like the new Yuppie area where the old Domino’s sugar plant used to be, now it’s some fancy-schmancy condo development.
There’s three places I always wanted to explore when I went back to NYC: I wanted to explore the old sanitarium at the end of Roosevelt Island, I wanted to climb up onto the old High Line Bridge, and I wanted to explore that fascinating Domino’s sugar plant that sat abandoned for so many years.
Now it’s a fancy condo...DUMBO, like SoHo, and the High Line’s a park, although the bridge is till closed, but that cool sanitorium’s still there! Someday, someday!
Oh, and I wanted to explore the hospital ruins on Staten Island. I got to explore Governor’s Island several times, and Brother Island still beckons!
I love New York! You’re right about the accents. My girlfriend’s Uncle Tony, born and raised in Hell’s Kitchen, had one of the strongest accents I’ve ever heard, makes Jimmy Cagney sound like a posh Brahmin!
See ya’,
