ReplyDeleteIt's really interesting if Facebook is actually looking at 770 Broadway and ignoring Minskoff's shiny new tech magnet across the street...
ReplyDeleteClerk should fired. These two women are the worst actresses. They can't even pretend to window shop. They have shady written all over them.
ReplyDeleteThis poor woman is simply expressing centuries of repressed rage in a nonviolent manner. It's the shopkeeper's fault for having the temerity to charge such exorbitant prices for clothes......
ReplyDeletethe tenement museum does no business. It's a simple matter of economics. I've been there and it's probably one of the worst museums I've ever been to, kind of like seeing the world's largest ball of yarn.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting how much sympathy people have for those that work for socially irresponsible entities when they have a personal connection to those people.
