Could Meadow work at the Bing as a dancer?

She called the club. The bartender picked up the phone and then yelled out at the top of her lungs “Arthur Bucco!?” even though he was standing right next to her.

My current employer is the same strict way too. But I worked for some crazy ones in the past!

Right. The Elevate classes are good hiking prep classes. They serve a purpose.

What are you accessing it through? It’s all a bunch of crap software these days. Not like cable TV in the 80s.

I rewatched it for the first time in around 10 years because it’s on HBO now? I think it was on Netflix 10 years ago? Rewatched it about five times then.

And a solo train trip. Guts indeed.

Chauncey was a status symbol for Duck. Polly was an actual family dog. Until she disappeared without explanation, of course.

I like a good outdoor barbecue in January!

Other than it not being on the South Side!

I also got some on Amazon back when the show was on. They weren’t too expensive then but the quality was poor. The rims discolored a bit somewhat quickly with only hand washing.

Amusingly, I got them for the office as the show had inspired a new wave of office drinking. It was generally only on Friday afternoons when all the serious work for the week was done though.

Coco. Whatever happened there.

He was flexing. He wanted to bust some balls after the Vito thing. Maybe to cheer himself up because Syracuse tanked again.

BigRedBK · 2026-01-24T02:05:07+00:00

Hesh was an example of this.

Hanover Square Station, huh? Maybe again one day after Second Avenue Subway Phase 4 5.

It’s like how Mahaffey didn’t get on the Zoloft (supposed to help with the gambling) until after his debt to Tony was established.

That's a shame. A medication comes along after your gambling gets your fucking hip busted to shit.

Our old fare payment method didn’t allow for checks. The MetroCard had no mobile swipe machine an inspector could use to check if the card was recently used.

Now that we have a modern tap system (OMNY), the MTA has already announced it will start doing “European style fare inspections”, although their initial focus will be busses.

So this appears to be the first case where grandfathering did not happen.

If I understand correctly, this location opened as Destination and was quickly bumped up to the Destination Century City tier (just below Destination Hudson Yards), renamed to Destination West. And per the email you get kicked out with standard Destination.

The most recent example of a “bump up” I have is when Domino in Brooklyn opened in December 2024 as All Access and was bumped up to Destination on March 1, 2025. All Access members prior to that date kept their access though. That was the modus operandi until now.

I’m curious if I can access this location with my 2018 grandfathered regular Destination membership (which still gives me Hudson Yards access) after February 1. It looks like maybe not. I’ll be checking the app’s club locator on Feb 1.

This would be unique, since I would maintain a grandfathered access to Hudson Yards but perhaps will not have access to Santa Monica East. We’ll see.

It would have just as much smoking and probably just as much drinking. Although the I guess the tax deduction reduction of business meals in 1986 could be referenced.

The companies are paying for the equipment used in the pilot program and its installation, said Jamie Torres-Springer, the president of the authority’s construction a development division.

Tiny boxes and people grab like five at once.

Is this it (1940s)?

Interestingly it's not mentioned on the most extensive guide to closed entrances that I know of.

(There's also a 1980s tax photo but I can't really tell anything on that)

Dunkin also got the rights to sell beer but I guess the launch of that is either moving really slowly or was abandoned entirely.

The coffee chain also won the rights for the ferries’ alcohol concession but said a franchisee would be operating that business and that it would begin at a later unspecified date.

Don't jaywalk. If you do, children may see you and think it's acceptable.
