FADE IN: A 50-yr-old beatnick heads west from New York City, hobo stick slung over shoulder, humming Tom Petty's "Last Dance With Mary Jane" while the lyrics run through his head. "Well, I don't know, but I've been told, You never slow down, you never grow old. I'm tired of screwin' up, tired of going down, Tired of myself, tired of this town." It's looking bleak. Enter: Pittsburgh! more ›

A girl in Montgomery, Alabama is currently saving up to move to Brooklyn, New York... and she could use a few bucks. Laura Zamora is an art-school grad and printmaker, and has decided to accelerate her stalled plans by setting up an Etsy page asking for donations so she can get out of dodge (specifically, her dad's place). more ›

The British are coming! Well, the Beckhams are coming. The couple moved from London to live in Los Angeles not too long ago, and now they're reportedly ready to make their next move to New York City. David would continue playing soccer for the LA Galaxy and keep their Beverly Hills home as a base, but his wife Victoria (pictured) is set on moving to the city. The "fashion designer" says, "My work is so important to me and LA just isn't a real fashion city." The couple have three sons, so this fashion thing must be really important to her if she's willing to split up the fam. more ›

Now that Anne Hathaway has ditched that deadbeat Rafaello Follieri, she's moved in with her boyfriend Scott Shulman in Brooklyn (where she was born); according to reports, the couple was recently spotted at the Brooklyn Flea where the incredibly wealthy starlet haggled a vendor down on the price of an Alpaca poncho. One website calls Shulman a hipster and wonders if the actress will be spotted in jeggings next. We wonder if she's more of the anti-Duane Reade Brooklynite... or a Starbucks enthusiast. The borough's soul could now be in the hands of this lil' lady. Dun dun dun... more ›

After more than two decades in Queens, during which it became the biggest name in chick-pea spreads, and less than a year after it shipped its plant down to Virginia, hummus maker Sabra is leaving the city altogether. Over the next four months the company, which is owned fifty-fifty by Pepsi and an Israeli company called the Strauss Group (just ask the students at Princeton), aims to move its offices to an office park in White Plains. The move was a surprise to the city—they didn't find out until the announcement was made—but not to the state which organized the move to keep the tax revenue. more ›

Following her short stint behind bars, and her early release from rehab, Lindsay Lohan is now left contemplating her next move. And New York, lock up your liquor cabinets (and maybe break out the Cookiepuss cakes), she's coming for us! more ›

Daily Intel caught up with a 24-year-old who moved from Queens to the Upper West Side, via the 7 train then the 1 train—via a transfer at Times Square—and thanks to his friends from his language school. Well, now they're his former friends after hauling Young Min's "air conditioner, collapsible double-rod closet, dishes (including serving platters and utensils), laptop, linen, quilts, books, clothes, and assorted framed pictures, a soup cauldron, Korean medicine, condiments, and a 40-pound bag of rice... (Mid-trip, the air conditioner broke through the trunk holding it.)" more ›

Last time we checked in on the McCarren Greenmarket, it was begrudgingly moving to a concrete-heavy spot on Union Avenue between Bayard and Driggs, but now the NY Post reports that the market got a little upgrade, and will be moving to Driggs and North 12th this October. The move is being made after the Parks Department was concerned about how damaged the grass was becoming at their current location of Bedford Avenue and Lorimer Street. CB1 Parks Committee member Dewey Thompson told the paper, “It is a terrific transition step towards permanently demapping Union between Driggs and North 12th and a perfectly suitable use for the street, especially considering the fact that, for years, the Greenmarket, while offering the community much-needed fresh greens has been crushing some of the highly endangered green grass in the park." Some vendors are concerned with losing money due to less pedestrian traffic, so everyone go buy some apple cider donuts and pumpkins this fall! more ›

Not only will pickle purveyor Guss' Pickles be moving from its longtime Lower East Side home to Brooklyn, but it'll be losing its name, too! Co-owner Pat Fairhurst has revealed that according to the terms of a prior lawsuit settlement, she's required to relinquish the name if she does pickle business anywhere else. It's a little complicated, but in 2006 Fairhurst got into a legal fight over the Guss' name with Steve and Andrew Leibowitz, a father-son team who run United Pickle in the Bronx and tried to open up a pickle shop named Guss' on Long Island. Lawsuits and counter-lawsuits ensued, with both parties asserting their right to the Guss' legacy—which stretches back to Isidor Guss, a Polish immigrant who sold pushcart pickles and later opened up the LES shop. But Fairhurst, who has owned Guss' since 2004, doesn't seem worried about dropping the historic name; she tells the Daily News, "It doesn't matter what our name is. People are going to know where I'm going. I'll put whatever I want on the sign, and they'll still come because it's our pickles they want." more ›

Jet Blue is searching for a new home base. The lease on their corporate headquarters in Forest Hills expires in 2012; the company, which launched in NYC in 1999, employs some 400 employees at the location. According to NY1, the discount airline began searching last week for new locations in the New York metro area and beyond. A Jet Blue spokesman tells the St. Petersburg Times that the airline wants to consolidate its Queens headquarters with its departments in Long Island and Connecticut into a single location. But he insists they'll continue to have a significant presence the Big Apple because their largest base of operations is at JFK. Bids are currently being solicited by the airline, which could relocate even before the lease on their headquarters expires in 2012. more ›

It's the end of an era! After 16 years there, Fashion Week is moving from the Bryant Park tents to Lincoln Center, Mayor Bloomberg announced earlier today. The move won't happen until September 2010, giving the current location three more Fashion Weeks (February and September 2009, and February 2010). After that, designers will relocate to the new space, which will give them 25% more room. more ›

Since opening in '64, Shea Stadium has been a popular home for feral cats, who've been known to scamper onto the field during games. In the Mets' championship year of 1969, a black cat ran back and forth in front of the Cubs dugout, cursing Chicago's pennant hopes. Now a group called Neighborhood Cats is urging the Mets to relocate the feral felines to the new Citi Field. "They're part of Mets lore, so why not keep them around?," asks Bryan Kortis, the group's leader. He guesses there are 20-40 cats who call the stadium home, and if the Mets don't relocate them he predicts, "they're going to be overrun with rats." Pressure from other groups successfully saved the Home Run Apple, but Mets officials have yet to respond to this demand. And a Parks Department spokeswoman tells Newsday there are only a couple cats at Shea, and when they catch them, they're taken to a shelter. more ›

The NY Sun has an alarming headline today: "40,000 New Yorkers Flee State for Atlanta," a fact that may be harshing the "southern hospitality" vibe Georgia had going for it. The newcomers are calling their new hometown a "second-tier city," and one woman declared: "If my kids have a Southern accent, I will kill myself." Unsurprisingly, the ex-NYers stick together down there, going so far as to start their own MySpace group -- while one keeps a blog called Voted Off the Island. As for the Atlanta locals, they seem welcoming, as the director of the Gone With the Wind Museum noted: "Since 9/11, everybody in the country has bonded with New York." The upsides to the move come off as few and far between in the article, perhaps the only one being that you can buy a 4-bdrm house there, with a yard, for $275K. The downsides: no good pizza, bagels, and no Central Park. more ›

Vendors at the Hunts Point wholesale produce market, located on 125 acres of city-owned land in the South Bronx, have said they will consider leaving the site for points “north or west” because the city is not cooperating with their expansion needs.

Having to move out of and in to apartments in the city is not a fun task. One group of avid bikers decided to try an apartment move with just their two hands, two feet and two wheels. In just under four hours they managed to complete the Brooklyn-to-Brooklyn move, which included the contents of a one-bedroom apartment. At one point they pass another man who is helping a friend move with a U-Haul, something he declares they could never do with just bikes and a little manpower... more ›
