this morning, after reading the article in Atlantic Yards report about the so called "affordable for all" housing at that project. Really quite revealing about how fraudulent the vision is of the DeBlasio administration in its effort to make the city "affordable for all". Since I don't know how to use the computer to circulate e-mails, I have e-mailed about 4 people who might be interested. Lots of excitement in that. A good follow up from the BAN meeting yesterday, at which much was discussed.
Yesterday, yes, the meeting and then hitting a bar to watch the Warriors beat the Cavaliers---a bar that I had never been in before. Since the meeting was at west 24 between 6th and 7th, there was a bar on 23rd, just west of seventh that I had passed many times but never entered. This time I did, since every TV screen (there are many) was showing the basketball game (the Met game, so very important, seemed to have been totally forgotten). The bartender was friendly and I ordered my beer and watched----finished the beer just as the second half of the game was beginning; did not wish for another one, but the bartender was very nice about it---he even got me a glass of ice water, and I stayed for the second half, one of the most exciting games that I have seen. Really appreciate the bartender's decency, for that, I tipped him another dollar before I left (I had previously given him $1,50 on a $6.50 beer). Also had a decent conversation with a Warrior fan, watching the game with his family, as it was going on. All in all a good time and a choice that worked out well---I will return to that bar again, since the bartender was so nice. Of course, part of the summer plan is to check out many other bars that I have either passed or heard about that seem interesting.
This evening; continuing my austerity program (for a while)--if I am up to it will visit South Fourth, otherwise, not sure what the evening will bring. Tomorrow there is a protest outside a woman's real estate business forum very early that I will most likely participate in. Will report tomorrow.
