Guess we'll never know if there was any evidence of La Marionetta Pizzeria underneath the Day-O signage.
Since you asked, I'm thinking "meh" about that random thread widget...
"You Might Also Like...."
Where it at? Or have you already deep-sixed it?
It's at the bottom of so many blog pages that I barely notice it.
Here's my 2 cents for your poll: While the selections are random, I don't find them annoying. In fact, some of the images might pique my curiosity and I'll click to that post instead of browsing your archives, which is what I'm used to doing. You already link to older posts when they relate to current stories, and I like those links more. So I'm ambivalent. The widgets don't bother me, but I don't use them much either because I'm already used to the other options. So I'm with Grand St. Two mehs.
Brooks, it's at the bottom of every post.
i'd rather it be in the sidebar, because i do like the randomization, but it's too much in every post.
make that 3 mehs.
"Brooks, it's at the bottom of every post."
Gawd.
Well, obviously I won't miss it much unless you can turn it into a porn widget.
: )
So make that four mehs.
okay, i dumped it. now i'm trying to put in a "random post" widget in the sidebar, but the thumbnails aren't coming through very well.
Cannot believe they destroyed the Day-O facade. But then, why I am surprised? Nothing should surprise us anymore.
There are entirely too many of these plywooded construction sheds intruding on the narrow sidewalks of the Village and as you say "padlocked in utter secrecy." The other day I was startled to come across a very extensive one on W 4th St just above 10th St. It covered the front of 4 or 5 townhouses under renovation. Do you think it's possible the interiors are being combined into one mcmansion?
