Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Soon, it will house not only inmates and jail cells, but also, in a vision endorsed by the mayor, a 24,000-square-foot strip mall on the street level.
I'm still boggling over that, too, Jess. The only thing I could come up with was that maybe the property developers noticed that putting up luxury townhouses right next door to a jail might have a negative effect on property values.

It's a typo. The word "search" was omitted from between "strip" and "mall".
And this is complete bullshit:
Some neighborhood residents said they would welcome convenience shops under the jail; there are none in the immediate area now.
How small is the "immediate area" to these people? Does Fulton Mall not count? Or Court St below Pacific?

The brand new luxury condos across from the UA theatre seem to be doing okay. There's even a Starbucks.
Wait wait wait wait wait...
Simon Dinally, the owner of Reliable Hardware, on 18th Avenue in Brooklyn, said he would consider selling his wares — saws, drills, files — and offering locksmith service under the 10-story jail.

I was thinking of the development on the other side that's been delayed for a couple of years.
What are you doing about your AOL email address? And why are you cancelling your phone?
I only use that line for dialup. I can keep my AOL email for 5 bucks a month, or something. I need to call India and ask about it.

I love this. Obviously a man who's thinking about the potential clientele.
Things I've learned from itunes today:
"Roses" is a song that holds up surprisingly well even after multiple listentings
Not even Nas can make Jennifer Lopez palatable.
JC Chasez is the shit.

HA HA HA HA.
There would have to be a bakery next door, right?

Hee. This should not amuse me, but it does.
Murderball was just on A&E! Made me happy to watch it again, though it wasn't nearly as good with commercials in the middle. Hmph.
I really should go out and enjoy the weather (beyond just "ooh, I have my windows open!" But none of my friends are around/free, and I don't really feel like hanging outside by myself (going to the movies or B&N or staying home bymyself, I'll do...but that is not appreciating the weather).
That's so weird. Wacky Brooklyn. ND, "French Connection" Friedkin? Cause, wow.
Drew--so you're working on the Tracy Letts play? He used to be the BF's client, back when the BF was an agent, and is now a good friend of ours. I believe we're going to the show with him when he gets out here. I'll be able to hear your work!
Offer him an omelette. (Tracy Letts, I mean.)
Jesse beat me to the bakery line.
I watched Kill Bill last night. I don't really want to be a Tarantino fan but damn, it was kinda brilliant. Even the scenes that were obviously directed by his inner 10 yr old.
