This is great! NYC taxi code:)

We went to Uptown Gig Harbour to watch Guy Ritchie’s new Sherlock Holmes film. It’s the first mall(ish) and movie theatre we’ve seen the inside of in about five months… 

Even big corporate budgets aren’t immune to bad punctuation on outdoor media. Unless, of course, it really isn’t a question…

Some competitive point of sale and packaging. The top of the ShopRite box says “Compare to the great taste of Kellog’s Cocoa Krispies cereal” and then it’s conveniently packed right next to the competition so you can compare the price too.

You find some of the most curious stuff on the subway.

Shopping for Christmas toys! Manhattan has a lot of these retail spaces scattered all over the place that have no permanent retail tenants. They get hired out for a month or two by a specialist store that sells a specific range of stuff appropriate for the next upcoming holiday. So, for a month or two before the end of October, a whole bunch of stores popped up selling Hallowe’en kit and promptly closed up shop while another bunch moved in and started selling toys for the Christmas season. This is at one of these spots just across the road from our apartment on Broadway.

After visiting SA for a bit, this is so nice to come back to. 

What NYU does to prepare it’s students for first semester finals…

Fun times at the coin-op.
