I came across the sign for People with AIDS Plaza a while back and i still can't help but chuckle while considering the boardroom full of beaurocrats trying to settle on that specific phrase...is there already a Leper Square?... did they really think they were doing something nice? it sounds like a quarantine pen. group think, ya think?

I feel it appropriate to also mention the closing of the Bowling Green post office. They apparently lost their lease, so all of their mail is going to be re-routed to the Pine Street office. I don't want to think about how disorganized it's gonna be, considering that my office has to wait until 5 pm on Mondays for the mail, and it hasn't even closed yet.

Go get the west village UPS (not USPS) station because all they can do is not deliver your package but I have gotten more than not (5 total) of random packages, some from overseas. Not that they are contributing but give me a break about avoiding problems.

Nope, Avenue the Americas is the official name of 6th Ave now.

I used to work in that building. My company had to move out after 9/11 due to the contamination. i hope they did a thorough cleaning there. I am looking forward to visiting. It's been almost three years since I set foot in 90 Church. I am glad to see it's back--it is a gorgeous building.

Renaming streets is the one thing the City Council is actually able to do, and they do it often. Costs are minimal, impact is minimal and they get to toss out some sops to minor players to keep them happy.

Isn't there a "Hell Station" up in Spanish Harlem? I swear I've seen it before. Talk about honorary names...

Isn't Avenue of the Americas an honorary name? 'Cuz I use that all of the time, and my mail gets there just fine.

$50,000 for $2,300 stolen... is that why the post office is always raising the price of stamps?
