She took a dump on our hood by setting up a straw man and blowing him down. That's what our fucking president does in his speeches!!! I don't think this is like the East Village. Maybe because, er, by the time the train gets here I realize I'm not in the 80s anymore and I'm not listening to Poison! I just saw a print copy of this.

And I can even relate to the sentiment that Bushwick, if you squint your eyes (really hard), is sort of like the East Village or L.E.S. back in the day. Perhaps the fashion photo shoot was off. Oh well. That's fashion for ya. I even liked the author’s "those were the days" nostalgia. I love hearing stories by old timers about the way things were. And it’s easy to be nostalgic about the Downtown scene. It was an amazing time. I recently read and rather enjoyed Robert Nickas’ reminiscences about the 80s (in his new book Theft Is Vision). I moved to New York in part because of my romance with that particular time and culture. If something’s killing it for me it’s the retro 80s trend. Thankfully it seems to have nearly run its course. Retro 70s is the new retro 80s. And then, after that, it’s retro 90s. Er, um, I liked the Papermag article.

I don't care to "see where my food comes from," to paraphrase the popular anti-consumer-culture adage. That's what I pay other people for. Division of labor, people. Anyway, aren't these places called viveros, while traditional butcher shops/meat counters are called carnicerias? Always sort of creeped me out, since it means nursery...

On my way to a job interview once (I was already running late), I was briskly walking to the F at Delancey, and it was a little icy, so I slipped and fel--right in front of the chicken place into a bloody puddle of guts and feathers that the guys had just hosed out onto the streets. Face first. WTF. When I lived on the LES (about 10 years ago), there was this live chicken place on my corner.

I try to get them to let me watch the process everytime I go. Yaay carnicerias. It’s actually really cool how they butcher and process the meat.

I haven't seen a good chicken beheading in years. I know that I've seen one poultry place over by Montrose. Are there others, closer to me at the Jefferson stop? Can you really get pigeons? Do you have to call them squab? Awesome. I haven’t seen a good chicken beheading in years. I know that I’ve seen one poultry place over by Montrose.
