Whoa, thought I was looking at the lower east side there for a second. On that and the surrounding blocks there must be 100 empty lots.Quote:

Is it because some people who live in an increasingly empty part of town chose to put a banner out on their porch advertising their presence?
Yep. All of the above.Quote:

Those prolly aren't tracks. See, they don't plow the streets, so in the winter the only way the road gets cleared is from the weight of tires, which means you get two-track wear on the road from winter driving. The ice gets crushed into water, which then gets into the roadway and cracks it more. Repeat as necessary.
Prolly wasn't a trolly, on the white family street. I remember why I have laid off this site now!
That actually makes total senseQuote:
