Yesterday’s snow storm didn’t totally cripple the Big Apple. This proved that the city is well prepared in dealing with a treacherous situation with this magnitude. With the city’s 1,600 plows and 365 salt spreaders on hand with more than 4,000 sanitation employees working in 12-hour shifts, the parkways and streets were pretty much passable. [...]

I live in the biggest and the most exciting city in the world (please don’t contradict). If I don’t see New York as such, I would not have been lured to keep going back for New York Holidays all those years when I was still living overseas.

Saturday went by so fast. I think it felt like that because even if it was bitter cold yesterday, we had to brave the strong and gusty wind and the 28 degree temperature. Now, if you factor in the windchill it was indeed a bone chilling day, as the meteorologist was saying the temps were [...]

Or should it be: ‘like thy neighbor’?. Whatever one prefers, it’s normally up to the person. In my case, it’s neither.
I’m not referring to my neighbors on our floor, it’s my parking neighbor. I am normally a cheerful, easy to get along well person. In fact, here in the neighborhood they think I’m just [...]
