For the second time in a week , future president Newt Gingrich blasted the out-of-touch snobs who use our city’s subway system. Like most Americans, you’ve probably never been able to afford a trip on the subway, as it is the exclusive domain of Champagne-sipping dandies who love nothing more than to luxuriate in the MTA’s Gilded Age-opulence. But from what we’ve heard, it’s like entering another dimension of sophistication and enchantment, where only the most glamorous citizens ride gold-leaf locomotives along shimmering silver tracks winding through wondrous subterranean cathedrals that none of you lickspittles posses the refinement to appreciate. Populist everyman Gingrich gets this , and today he told a crowd of real Americans in Las Vegas that these “elites” in Manhattan who live in high rises and “ride the subway” are killing this proud nation.

Surely monsters are scared off by ultra-realistic looking rhinos, right? They do, after all, weigh in at 250 pounds each, and measure 12-feet-long. [ more › ]

The preponderance of big chain stores on the Upper West Side could be severely reversed under a plan introduced by the Department of City Planning . Acting on concerns from the Upper West Side community and elected officials, the city is considering rezoning part of the neighborhood to create two Special Enhanced Commercial Districts. Each of these zones would limit the frontage of new and expanding banks and residential lobbies along Broadway, Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues. Overall store size would not be restricted, so big chains could still burrow underground, but city planners argue that “over time the general multi-store character of Amsterdam and Columbus avenues would be maintained, while promoting a more varied and active retail environment on Broadway.” [ more › ]
