Meet Your Neighbors: Amazon Operates an Illegal “Warehouse” at the USPS
October 8, 2023
Amazon and third-party delivery services have setup a “warehouse” outside the Astor Place USPS office.  This is not a truck parking for five minutes.  This a day-long, everyday occurrence. I’ve seen this same scene on a daily basis all around the city for the last three years. 

This hurts local retailers. While the local businesses pay extra taxes to operate a store in southern Manhattan, it costs Amazon much less to park a delivery truck (permanently?), put ...

Why rent a storefront when you can use a street for free?
October 6, 2023
I see this situation all over the city.  Amazon shipping companies are “warehousing” our public space. They put up cones and are permanently setup and conducting business. They use public space for private commercial use. 

They’re like a pop-up store in a public parking spot. But unlike a physical store that is in a private building and pays commercial storefront taxes, these trucks don’t pay those retailer taxes.  (Each year businesses in lower ...

Let Them Eat Cake
October 4, 2023
“Let them eat cake” is the most famous quote attributed to Marie-Antoinette, the queen of France during the French Revolution. As the story goes, it was the queen’s response upon being told that her starving peasant subjects had no bread. Because cake is more expensive than bread, the anecdote has been cited as an example of Marie-Antoinette’s obliviousness to the conditions and daily lives of ordinary people. But did she ever actually utter those words? Probably not. ...

Majestic Symbols

While this mother & baby are a North American subspecies of the brown bear, they are more commonly known as grizzly bears. As to the origin of their name, the bears can thank none other than Lewis & Clark whose journals mention a "grisley bear" no doubt referring to these majestic symbols of the wild whose grizzled appearance is caused by the long guard hairs on their backs and shoulders frequently having white tips. The fur of these bears is often dark brown but can vary from ...
