Oh if only we could go back to the days when "don't let the bedbugs bite" was just something you said. But, as the Times really tries to hammer home today, that just doesn't seem to be possible anymore.

We feel like it's been decades since we first wrote about the Fulton Fish Market moving. And since then the move has been hit by problem after problem after problem. But now that is all over. Amidst much media attention the Market had it's final day after nearly 185 years on Thursday. It is now being rushed up to it's new giant indoor facilities in the Bronx so as to open up for business there Monday morning. There are a few photos of the last night on flickr, anyone see them moving today?

Before it goes into pay-for-article land, Gothamist recommends you read last Sunday's awesome City section article about the Department of Sanitation. Reporter Field Maloney got to work with "san men" and learned where the sewer rats are (Broadway, from the Garment District to Union Square), what "mongo" is, and why you should turn your head when garbage is being put through the hopper. But it doesn't seem like he ran into any urban whitefish. Gothamist has been fascinated with the city's trash because (a) it tells us who we are and (b) we are repelled yet curious about maggots and the like. As it is, the Mayor is looking to revamp certain garbage programs, but needs City Council agreement (and who knows if that'll happen, especially since the Mayor wants to build a solid waster center in Gifford Miller's 'hood).
