The Cities: I could have sworn we had this thread but I guess not

I drove through Litchfield, MN, today. In typically rural, small town cities, they had Xmas lights hanging up over the main streets in town. If you see them, they’re clearly inspired by stripper joints. They had a supporting wire running across the top, dropping a little as wires do over a span, and then the holiday lights draped around a pair of wires that hang down from the main support with a red lantern between the top wire and the each pair of draped wires. Tittee lights.
 
A tradition unlike any other.

Hey Kep...

What's the NYC equivalent of this gem from Chicago?

My God, that is beautiful.

This is the best I could come up with, though it was a temporary exhibit:

When office colleague Mike Aaron sauntered over to my desk this afternoon and said he had a photo of something “really, really gross” on his iPhone, I assumed it couldn’t be all that bad. After all, I’ve seen lots of nasty things during my 21-year tenure in New York City.

Then he showed it to me. And he wasn’t kidding. While walking along Attorney Street between Stanton and Houston Streets in the Lower East Side, Aaron stumbled upon a rat carcass which appeared to have its guts ripped out. Right next to the rodent, was a pile of what he first thought were “sausage links.” But it was only upon closer inspection that he began to realize the true horror of what he discovered. It was a litter of dead baby rats, some still encased in their birth sacs.

Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey must be getting pressure from some real estate donors.

I'm sure the entire food service industry are in on it too. Downtown Lansing lost a decent amount of tax base from state employees telecommuting since all the coffee shops and lunch places depend on them.

We are officially back 3 days/week, located in Minneapolis. I street park now because my boss lets us WFH half of those Hours each day. Sometimes I get a bagel and coffee.

it’s still pretty dead because pre-COVID, nary a street parking spot to be found by the time I arrived. Now I’m maybe the 3rd car on my side of the street when I park.
 
Fundy Muzzie, Jew, or Christiban -- it's all the same pathology.

Deport them all. If you believe in the literal truth of your magic book, GTFO.
 
Eric Adams' last gift to the NY GOP on his way out.

In an interview Monday, Adams said he would “mount a real independent campaign” that relies on “a solid base of people” outside Manhattan, with an emphasis on ethnic minorities who boosted him to victory four years ago. He lamented how the bribery charges federal prosecutors hit him with in September — which a judge dismissed Wednesday — “handcuffed” him, and he promised to be “uninhibited” on the campaign trail.

“I have been this racehorse that has been held back,” he added. “This is so unnatural for me.”


The result is likely to be a chaotic spectacle in the nation’s largest city, which shifted slightly to the right last November: A showdown between a pugnacious mayor who has irrevocable ties to President Donald Trump, and the winner of the Democratic primary, which Andrew Cuomo is leading.

Adams plans to submit the requisite 3,750 signatures due May 27 to secure a November ballot spot on a public safety-focused line, he and an aide told POLITICO. On Thursday he’s releasing a campaign video in which he discusses his personal trials, expresses regret for lapses in judgment and derides his opponents as soft on crime.

Adams spoke optimistically of his plan, despite the enormous challenges: persuading New Yorkers who typically pick Democrats to select a politically unaffiliated incumbent with a 20 percent approval rating, defending a record of criticizing his own party more than he has Trump and running at a financial disadvantage after being denied more than $4 million in public matching funds.

Good god, with Adams (I) and Cuomo (D), is there a CPUSA running? (I joke. Of course there is, it's NYC).
