  2. One of the commentors on the Serious Eats bit, talking about Ray's says he has two days to pay $1000 rent that he doesn't have. If this is, in fact, true, then I guess it's all over for Ray.
    Selling a few egg creams isn't going to cut it for making rent. Sad Sad Sad. That's the way it is.

    I sure want it not to be true though.

  3. The Gizmodo article is "funny". Written by some pink button-down wearing dude with (ironic) hipster glasses, who thinks because he's lived here for a whopping 5 years, he has sociological insight beyond an ability to simply stereotype others.
    Where's a mirror when you need one?
