One of the most interesting developments to me as a blogger is that people sent me stuff that they want me to get out there. That’s pretty cool – but sometimes I have nothing to say on a topic. The story below is one of those…but I’m humbly appreciative of people sending us things…so keep sending them!
My quick take – I feel bad for these kids, I feel bad for the locals, but whatchagonnado. If I had been king of the world I would have called George’s bluff and dared him to move the Yankees to Oklahoma City or worse, Jersey.
I wonder if anyone is going to write about the poor chop-shop owners on 126th street in Queens when they too get displaced?
