I'm having bonbon chicken for lunch!

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.
Oh, how is it? I still haven't been there but mean to. And not because of the name, but because of the chicken!
It's good! Very greasy, though.
Random questions for the hivemind (legal peeps and librarians, heads up!):
- Can you get information on financial planning at a law library? For example, if you're looking to get information on protecting assets in the case where one spouse has a terminal illness.
- Can you get specific information about a branch of a public library online (in my case, branches of the LAPL)? Looking for approx. size of collections, nature of clientele, info on any specialized collections, etc.
Oh, when I had the bon bon, it was not greasy.
I cannot believe that there is not a blog that is giving block reports of what is filming where in NYC. SERIOUSLY. It should be a component of gawker.
I could head that up for them if they want. IJS.

I think you have to eat it right away. I brought mine back to the office.

Right! I meant to respond to Jessica's link-- it works, and is exactly what I said was impossible to find, but I want to know what it is, say, is filming on 26th street right now, you know? Why we don't have a Gawker Stalker for that is madness.
Random questions for the hivemind (legal peeps and librarians, heads up!):
I'm both a legal peep and a librarian:
Yes, law libraries have information on things like estate planning. What a law library will have for a lay person will vary from library to library (we don't have much, because we mostly serve students, faculty & alum). I always recommend the Nolo Press books to lay people.
Specific info about a library branch might be found in an annual report. Those usually get posted online these days. I'm not aware of a directory/index that puts all this together generally -- just for special collections.
Gloomcookie:
1. My guess would be no - you'd want to talk to a certified financial planner or an actual lawyer for that. Law libraries provide information, but there's a big deal about librarians not giving any legal advice.
2. Very much depends on the library web site. Existence of branches, yes; collection descriptions, often; clientele notes, I'd say very rarely. LAPL seems pretty brief in their descriptions: [link]
