Shit laced with gold. [Gothamist]
Cooper Hotel developer says "cities should not be museums." [Observer via Curbed]
A grim round-up of 2007's vanished greats. What will take their places? [Lost City]
A. Fontana will be gone soon, but there are still a few good shoe repair shops left in town. At least in Brooklyn. [Bklynometry]
Last week I posted about the anonymous protest against the BBQ-turned-North-Fork bank. Since then, passersby have added their own notes to the taped-on signs, mostly polite stuff like "I agree" and "Me too." Now Alex in NYC reveals the protesters are skipping Scotch tape and going straight for good old Magic Marker. [Flaming P]

I nominate this for the Everyday Chatter of the year. Shit gold, indeed!
thanks barbara! it reminds me of something my grandmother would say if she didn't approve of, for instance, a girl you were dating (and thought could do no wrong): "what is her shit made of gold?"
How about shitting dolls that look like yourself? Now THAT would be cool.
Once upon a time a group right here in NYC invented the baseball bat ,or so I'm told , and it wasn't invented for baseballs ...that was a later evolutionary turn .
When I read the words of this little twerp Peck ,all I can see is baseball bats swingin' .....
As to the Gold , is a gold-laced fece any more subtle in the proverbial holiday punch-bowl?
And what about the used toilet -paper ? Should we hang it on the wall picture-like , revealing each individual's gold-flecked ,nuanced wipings as a work of art ?
I walked around different areas of NYC recently. First downtown, then midtown and finally uptown. New York is becoming what Bloomberg is famously quoted as saying "A luxury good." I know a good plan. The if you shit gold once you must shit silver three times rule. That would be great...
i must of missed this post. has anyone called the new musuem for followup? have the gold tablets sold? how many? do you think it was an art piece, & a joke? i do, satire for sure. remember andy warhol was joking when he did the soup can painting. he said you can buy campbells for 35 cents, i bet rich people would pay thousands for it. he was right. moving along to brillo. if we look @ the decadent rich for centuries, there have been some very bizarre status symbols. did the gold intestinal pills ever take off?
