Tee Hee

A block away from my office is an "alternative" high school. Strolling to Steak Frites on Varick this week, I came upon this little bit of vandalism right outside its entrance:

Vacation's Over

The minute you stepped out the front door this morning, it was evident everywhere you looked: Summer's over. From the kids taking up nearly every available inch of sidewalk yelling to those they haven't seen in months, the new NYU residents wandering about in a confused and/or hungover state throughout the Village to the woeful looking subway commuters crowding into already full cars (after cursing at all the metrocard machines not accepting credit/debit cards), the seemingly empty summertime city has once again filled up.

Happy (early) Fall, dear readers.
